One of those blooming black-eyed girls? (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

susan

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

'those blooming black-eyed girls?' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.

'one' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'one' could be 'an' (I've seen this in other clues) and 'an' is located in the answer.
The remaining letters 'sus' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

'of' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for susan that I've seen before include "She's a black-eyed flower" , "Server at table's no lazy" , "-- Howatch, novelist" , "- - Sarandon (films)" , "Girl's name, meaning lily" .)
