Ornate; ruddy (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

florid

I believe this clue is a double definition.

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

'ruddy' is the second definition.
(I know that ruddy can be written as florid)

(Other definitions for florid that I've seen before include "Flushed (face); over-embellished" , "With flushed complexion" , "Elaborately intricate" , "Flushed and flowery" , "Red in the face" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times and The Sunday Times.
