Shrub found in bed on holiday (11)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

cotoneaster

'shrub' is the definition.
(cotoneaster is a kind of shrub)

'bed on holiday' is the wordplay.
'bed' becomes 'cot' (cot is a type of bed).
'holiday' becomes 'easter' (Easter is a Christian holiday).
'cot'+'on'+'easter'='COTONEASTER'

'found in' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for cotoneaster that I've seen before include "Shrub with red berries" , "Red-berried garden shrub" , "Plant" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
