Crossword Genius

Somewhat tubular honeysuckle flower (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

rhone

'flower' is the definition.
(Rhone River is an example)

'somewhat tubular honeysuckle' is the wordplay.
'somewhat' indicates the answer is hidden within the clue.
'RHONE' is hidden within 'tubular honeysuckle'.

(Other definitions for rhone that I've seen before include "River at Lyons" , "French wine region" , "River running from the Swiss Alps to the Mediterranean" , "French flower" , "wherein runs rain in Arbroath" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
