Refreshment stood in the garden (3,4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

tea rose

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

'the garden' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I don't understand how they can define each other.

'refreshment stood' is the wordplay.
'refreshment' becomes 'tea' (I've seen this before).
'stood' becomes 'rose' (rose up).
'tea'+'rose'='TEA-ROSE'

'in' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for tea rose that I've seen before include "Flowering bush" , "Eats roe (anag.)" , "Scented garden flower" , "Garden plant" , "Bloom" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
