Crossword Genius

I hear you pulled up some more gorse (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

roger

'i hear you' is the definition.
(radio communications)

'pulled up some more gorse' is the wordplay.
'pulled up' is a reversal indicator.
'some' indicates the answer is hidden within the clue (some of the parts of the word are used).
'regor' is hidden in the letters of 'more gorse'.
'regor' written backwards gives 'ROGER'.

(Other definitions for roger that I've seen before include "I have heard on the radio" , "Military 'OK'" , "Man's name" , "Radio confirmation" , "R in telecommunications" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
