Speak roughly to monster to get flower (10)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

snapdragon

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'flower' is the definition.
(I know that snapdragon is a type of flower)

'speak roughly to monster' is the wordplay.
'speak roughly' becomes 'snap' (snapping is a kind of speaking. I am not sure about the 'roughly' bit.).
'to monster' becomes 'dragon' (dragon is a kind of monster).
'snap'+'dragon'='SNAPDRAGON'

'to get' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for snapdragon that I've seen before include "Garden plant" , "one found in bed" , "The blossom" , "that's in the garden?" , "Kind of antirrhinum" .)

I've seen this clue in The Daily Express.
