Crossword Genius

Rosy, ruddy (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

blooming

This clue is a double definition.

'rosy' is the first definition.
(synonyms)

'ruddy' is the second definition.
(thesaurus)

(Other definitions for blooming that I've seen before include "Blossoming" , "Healthy -- flowering" , "Euphemistic expletive - in flower" , "Looking healthy" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
