Got up like a flower (5)
This clue is a double definition.
'got up' is the first definition.
(past tense of 'raise')
'flower' is the second definition.
(I've seen this before)
'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" .)
