One in bed having some lover be naked (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

verbena

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

'one in bed' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I cannot understand how one could define the other.

'some lover be naked' is the wordplay.
'some' indicates the answer is hidden within the clue (some of the parts of the word are used).
'VERBENA' can be found hidden inside 'lover be naked'.

'having' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for verbena that I've seen before include "Ornamental pant" , "Vervain (plant)" , "Garden plant" , "Herbaceous plant" , "Ornamental plant with showy flowers" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
