Flower does go wild about the end of September (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

dogrose

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

'the end of september' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I can't judge whether this works.

'flower does go wild' is the wordplay.
'flower' becomes 'r' (abbreviation for river).
'wild' indicates anagramming the letters.
'r'+'does'+'go'='rdoesgo'
'rdoesgo' anagrammed gives 'DOGROSE'.

'about' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for dogrose that I've seen is " girl following track".)
