Rose protector (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

thorn

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

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for thorn that I've seen before include "sharp object" , "problematic point" , "Prickle on a plant" , "quill?" , "Old Norse character" .)

I've seen this clue in the Newsday, the USA Today, the Universal and the King Feature Syndicate.
