Note hairs ruined flower (9)

I believe the answer is:

hortensia

'flower' is the definition.
(hortensia is a kind of flower)

'note hairs ruined' is the wordplay.
'ruined' indicates anagramming the letters.
'note'+'hairs'='notehairs'
'notehairs' anagrammed gives 'HORTENSIA'.

(Another definition for hortensia that I've seen is " a shrub".)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
