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

'rose' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'ted a name anyway' is the wordplay.
'anyway' is an anagram indicator.
'ted'+'a'+'name'='tedaname'
'tedaname' with letters rearranged gives 'EMANATED'.

'or maybe' is the link.
This may not be correct. Some or all of it may belong to another bit of the clue.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for emanated that I've seen before include "Emerged or originated" , "Flowed" , "came forth" , "Issued or originated from a source" , "Issued forth, as from a source" .)

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