'in church' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both man-made objects as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?

'variety of red rose' is the wordplay.
'variety of' indicates an anagram.
'red'+'rose'='redrose'
'redrose' is an anagram of 'REREDOS'.

'seen' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for reredos that I've seen before include "Fireback" , "Back of fireplace" , "Wall decoration behind altar" , "Hanging in church" , "Ornamental screen behind a church altar" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
