Shrub sprang up (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

rose

I believe this is a double definition.

'shrub' is the first definition.
(rose is a kind of shrub)

'sprang up' is the second definition.
(I've seen this before)

(Other definitions for rose that I've seen before include "''That which we call a ..., by any other name would smell as sweet'' (Romeo and Juliet)" , "vacated bed" , "Prickly garden plant" , "Wine colour; plant" , "came up" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
