Sundew and red rose rat’s eaten away (7)
I believe the answer is:
drosera
'sundew' is the definition.
'red rose rat's eaten away' is the wordplay.
'eaten away' says the answer is hidden in the clue.
'DROSERA' can be found hidden inside 'red rose rats'.
'and' acts as a link.
(Another definition for drosera that I've seen is " insectivorous plant".)
I've seen this clue in The Times.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
