Hybrid rose rapidly suppresses insectivorous plant (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

drosera

'insectivorous plant' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'hybrid rose rapidly suppresses' is the wordplay.
'suppresses' says the answer is hidden in the clue (the clue suppresses or covers up the answer).
'DROSERA' is hidden in the letters of 'hybrid rose rapidly'.

(Another definition for drosera that I've seen is " insectivorous plant".)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
