Crossword Genius

Got up like a bloomer (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

rose

I believe this is a double definition.

'got up' is the first definition.
(past tense of 'raise')

'bloomer' is the second definition.
(I've seen this before)

'like a' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for rose that I've seen before include "Gained height" , "Pink wine - flower" , "A flower; watering-can sprayer" , "Stood" , "Pinkish wine" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
