Modern Miss guarding flower in Wales grew fragrant blooms (4,5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

musk roses

'fragrant blooms' is the definition.

'modern miss guarding flower in wales grew' is the wordplay.
'modern miss' becomes 'ms' (alternative to 'miss').
'guarding' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'flower in wales' becomes 'usk' (Welsh river or something which 'flows').
'grew' becomes 'rose' (I've seen this before).
'usk'+'rose'='uskrose'
'ms' going around 'uskrose' is 'MUSK-ROSES'.

(Another definition for musk roses that I've seen is " Flowers".)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
