Plant around winter (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

twiner

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

'plant' is the definition.
The answer and definition are not the same part of speech.

'around winter' is the wordplay.
'around' indicates an anagram.
'winter' anagrammed gives 'TWINER'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for twiner that I've seen is " Unusual limerick".)
