Potential flower our beds might produce? (7)

I believe the answer is:

rosebud

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

'potential flower' is the definition.
'rosebud' can be an answer for 'flower' (rosebud is a kind of flower). I'm unsure of the 'potential' bit.

'our beds might produce?' is the wordplay.
'might produce?' indicates anagramming the letters (I've seen this in other clues).
'our'+'beds'='ourbeds'
'ourbeds' is an anagram of 'ROSEBUD'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for rosebud that I've seen before include "Flower not yet open" , "Partially-opened flower" , "one with potential to bloom" , "Young flower (to be gathered?)" , "J. Foster Kane's last word" .)
