Crossword Genius

Missile leaves (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

rocket

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'missile' is the first definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'leaves' is the second definition.
(I know that Rocket is a type of leaf vegetable)

(Other definitions for rocket that I've seen before include "Roasting" , "Projectile, missile" , "Projectile firework" , "Severe criticism" , "Self-propelled firework or missile" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
