Wreath of victory (6)
I believe the answer is:
laurel
'wreath of victory' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
This is the entire clue.
(Other definitions for laurel that I've seen before include "Companion to Hardy" , "Does A1 rule this bush?" , "Hardy's chum" , "Stan . . . . . ., Oliver Hardy's comedian partner" , "Its leaves are a symbol of victory" .)
