Rose, the blushing beauty within (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

rebelled

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

'the blushing beauty within' is the wordplay.
'the blushing' becomes 'red' (I've seen this before).
'beauty' becomes 'belle' (I've seen this before).
'within' indicates putting letters inside.
'red' placed around 'belle' is 'REBELLED'.

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

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
