Sensitive rose arrangement (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

sore

'sensitive' is the definition.
(as in a sore wound)

'rose arrangement' is the wordplay.
'arrangement' indicates anagramming the letters.
'rose' with letters rearranged gives 'SORE'.

(Other definitions for sore that I've seen before include "Raw place (on the body)" , "buck" , "Hurtful to the touch, like rose" , "Painful or tender" , "source of distress" .)

I've seen this clue in The Daily Express and The Mirror.
