Plan to get shot of rose beds (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

strata

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

'beds' is the definition.
(I have seen 'hard beds' mean 'strata' so perhaps 'beds' could also mean 'strata')

I don't understand how the remainder of the clue works.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for strata that I've seen before include "bands" , "Tiers of thicknesses" , "Beds of sedimentary rock" , "Layers into which rocks are divided" , "Layers of rock on earth's surface" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
