Crossword Genius

Old Rose upsets Lola (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

dolores

'lola' is the definition.
(I know that lola can be written as Dolores)

'old rose upsets' is the wordplay.
'upsets' is an anagram indicator.
'old'+'rose'='oldrose'
'oldrose' anagrammed gives 'DOLORES'.

(Other definitions for dolores that I've seen before include "Lady" , "Female" , "Old sore about girl" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
