Crossword Genius

She was revolting (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

rose

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'she' is the first definition.

'was revolting' is the second definition.
(to rise up is to revolt)

(Other definitions for rose that I've seen before include "lifted" , "England's national emblem" , "Prickly plant with bright flowers" , "Thorny plant with bright flowers" , "moved from seat?" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
