Can anyone please explain the three down clues which are in italics?
The preamble says they relate to the quotation around the perimeter, which I have got, but I can't solve the three words, nor make any connection.

The three italicised clues do not lead to real words in the grid. The definitions lead to real words which are modified in line with the quotation. If you've got the quotation, then you should see what I mean...

I'm afraid I'm still none the wiser! Anyone prepared to shed a little more light?

I'm with Suber on this. "With the quotation taken literally" I still can't make sense of m?l?,
?c?t?r?, and ?e?e.
I dare say it will be quite obvious when we see it!

If you remove a 'ROSE' from the definitions you get the words to be entered into the grid.

Eg 13d P(ROSE)CUTORS (Lawyers) P(arking)in front of COURTS (maybe)

Is it just my copy the Week? I can only see two italicised clues; 5 down and 13 down!

I can see "rose" in each of the 3 italicised clues but am flummoxed. Do the clues join together to make a saying/expression? Further assistance required!
