'not smelling rambling old rose with us?' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.

'rambling old rose with us?' is the wordplay.
'rambling' indicates anagramming the letters.
'with' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'old'+'rose'='oldrose'
'oldrose' after 'us' is 'usoldrose'.
'usoldrose' with letters rearranged gives 'ODOURLESS'.
