Variety of red rose seen in church (7)
I believe the answer is:
reredos
'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" .)
