In Roma China's doctor finds some cherry (10)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

maraschino

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

'some cherry' is the definition.
(maraschino cherry is a kind of cherry)

'in roma china's doctor' is the wordplay.
'in' indicates putting letters inside.
'roma' becomes 'maro' (I can't justify this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'doctor' is an anagram indicator.
'chinas' with letters rearranged gives 'aschin'.
'maro' placed around 'aschin' is 'MARASCHINO'.

'finds' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for maraschino that I've seen is " Harmonicas (anag) - cherry liqueur".)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
