Bloomer to transplant round Easter (3,4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

tea rose

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

'bloomer' is the definition.
Both the answer and definition are singular nouns.
Maybe you can see a link between them that I can't see?

'transplant round easter' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'round' could be 'o' (round can mean a round object) and 'o' is found in the answer.
an anagram of 'easter' is 'tearse' which is present in the left over letters.
No letters remain.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

'to' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?
