Tobacco Native American traveller brought up for climber (8,7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

virginia creeper

'climber' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'tobacco native american traveller brought up' is the wordplay.
'tobacco' becomes 'virginia' (I've seen this before).
'native american' becomes 'cree' (an indigenous people of North America).
'traveller' becomes 'rep' (travel company worker).
'brought up' says the letters should be written in reverse (in a down clue, letters go up).
'rep' backwards is 'per'.
'virginia'+'cree'+'per'='VIRGINIA CREEPER'

'for' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for virginia creeper that I've seen before include "plant" , "going up the wall!" , "Climber" .)

I've seen this clue in The Daily Mail.
