Where to put flowers when you have retired? (2,3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

in bed

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

'retired?' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'where to put flowers when' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'put' could be 'bed' (bedding is a kind of putting) and 'bed' is found in the answer.
The remaining letters 'in' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

'you have' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for in bed that I've seen before include "Lying, possibly" , "10 [AT REST] ," , "as 15 Down [GARDENERS] may be?" , "Retired?" , "Not yet up" .)
