Rash insiders cut a flower (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

rhone

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

'flower' is the definition.
(River Rhone, something which flows)

'rash insiders cut a' is the wordplay.
'rash insiders cut' becomes 'rh' (I can't explain this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'a' becomes 'one'.
'rh'+'one'='RHONE'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for rhone that I've seen before include "River running through France to the Med" , "12 wine region" , "Major French river, rising in Switzerland" , "wherein runs rain in Arbroath" , "River of Switzerland and France" .)
