Ugly variety of eglantine (9)

I believe the answer is:

inelegant

'ugly' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'variety of eglantine' is the wordplay.
'variety of' indicates an anagram.
'eglantine' anagrammed gives 'INELEGANT'.

(Other definitions for inelegant that I've seen before include "Lacking refinement" , "Ungraceful" , "Not stylish or refined" , "Ugly" , "less than couth" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
