Rose adores crackers (6)
I believe the answer is:
soared
'rose' is the definition.
(soaring is a kind of rising)
'adores crackers' is the wordplay.
'crackers' indicates anagramming the letters (informal term for mad).
'adores' anagrammed gives 'SOARED'.
(Other definitions for soared that I've seen before include "Flew upwards or high in the sky" , "Rose high in flight like bird" , "Rose high into the air" .)
