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

'in basketmaking' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.

'rose is involved' is the wordplay.
'involved' indicates an anagram (involved can mean confusing or complex).
'rose'+'is'='roseis'
'roseis' with letters rearranged gives 'OSIERS'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for osiers that I've seen before include "Willow twigs used in basket-making" , "Small willows" , "Willow twigs used in basket-work" , "Roses I find with flexible willow twigs" , "Flexible twigs used in basketwork" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
