Crossword Genius

Rose, blushing beauty within (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

rebelled

'rose' is the definition.
('rebel' can be a synonym of 'rise')

'blushing beauty within' is the wordplay.
'blushing' becomes 'red' (blushing makes someone's face go red).
'beauty' becomes 'belle' (I've seen this in another clue).
'within' is an insertion indicator.
'red' placed around 'belle' is 'REBELLED'.

(Other definitions for rebelled that I've seen before include "was revolting" , "Red belle (anag.)" , "Showed dissent" , "Refused to obey" , "Revolted" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
