White rose treated differently (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

otherwise

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

'white rose treated' is the wordplay.
'treated' is an anagram indicator.
'white'+'rose'='whiterose'
'whiterose' is an anagram of 'OTHERWISE'.

(Other definitions for otherwise that I've seen before include "Alternatively" , "As an alternative - like white rose" , "Differently - or else!" , "White rose (anag.)" , "In other respects or ways" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
