Rusty, Elle, Pigale, Chris...anyone and everyone...

Some of you may have seen this clue, from the current issue of the Spectator -

Rose with weapon, we're told (6).

I'll have to think about that one, malone. I assume "rose" is the definition, but that still leaves several possibilities!

Thanks,ChrisE - you get your full name/nomenclature now.

I wouldn't spend/waste too much time on that clue - it hasn't been chosen for its excellence, cleverness, whatever!

That's even better, Chris - I get confused with the various Chrises (Chrisses?)!

I've been called, amongst other variations, Chrissie and Christ more than once!

Well Malone, so far, I am not getting anywhere - too many 'rose' to choose from !

Chris, Pigale - 'Soared' is the answer! It's from the awful school of homophones, I feel.

....though, on second thoughts, a better approximation to a homophone than some that have been quoted here! (I'm not saying that it's exact.)
