Quiet massage? See Jasmine for one! (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

shrub

'jasmine for one' is the definition.
(jasmine is a kind of shrub)

'quiet massage?' is the wordplay.
'quiet' becomes 'sh'.
'massage?' becomes 'rub' (I've seen this before).
'sh'+'rub'='SHRUB'

'see' is the link.

(Other definitions for shrub that I've seen before include "Perhaps Heather" , "Hazel perhaps" , "Drink of rum, fruit juice and spices" , "Low woody perennial type of plant" , "Woody plant smaller than a tree" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
