Got up like a flower (4)
I believe this clue is a double definition.
'got up' is the first definition.
(past tense of 'raise')
'flower' is the second definition.
(I know that rose is a type of flower)
'like a' is the link.
(Other definitions for rose that I've seen before include "Thorny flowering plant" , "Flower - climbed" , "was being promoted" , "Prickly plant with bright flowers" , "Gained altitude" .)
'got up' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
'a flower' is the wordplay.
'flower' becomes 'rose' (I've seen this in other clues).
'a'+'rose'='AROSE'
'like' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for arose that I've seen before include "stemmed" , "Became apparent" , "Got out of bed" , "appeared" , "Cropped up" .)
