A woman's possible reminder of an old flame (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ashes

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

'possible reminder of an old flame' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.

'a woman's' is the wordplay.
'woman's' becomes 'shes'.
'a'+'shes'='ASHES'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for ashes that I've seen before include "Remains from a cremation" , "Powders remaining after fire" , "Cricket honour in the fire" , "Former Wimbledon champion's" , "sporting trophy" .)
