Rosebush pest (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

aphid

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

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for aphid that I've seen before include "Plant louse" , "Garden bug" , "Small insect like greenfly" , "Blackfly or greenfly" , "little sucker" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times, the LA Times and the Newsday.
