Got up to collect set award? (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

rosette

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'award?' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'got up to collect set' is the wordplay.
'got up' becomes 'rote' (I can't justify this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'to collect' indicates putting letters inside.
'rote' placed around 'set' is 'ROSETTE'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for rosette that I've seen before include "Prizewinner's decoration" , "Colourful decoration worn by supporters" , "shape for diamonds" , "Colours" , "Decoration made of ribbons" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
