Peseta we changed for a climber (5,3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

sweet pea

'climber' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'peseta we changed' is the wordplay.
'changed' indicates anagramming the letters.
'peseta'+'we'='pesetawe'
'pesetawe' with letters rearranged gives 'SWEET PEA'.

'for a' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for sweet pea that I've seen before include "Eat, weeps and gets climbing flowers" , "flowering plant" , "Garden plant with brightly coloured flowers" , "Garden plant with pastel-coloured flowers" , "Climbing plant with pastel-coloured flowers" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
