I've heard several different pronunciations, with "roe-hoss" being the
one I hear most frequently and favor.  Primarily because it's a
slightly less abbreviate version:

Restriction of Hazardous Substances
RoHaS

I've heard other people calling it rosh, but that grates on my
pronunciation nerves a tiny bit.  Are there _any_ English words that
end in "hs" that make a sh sound?

The other pronunciation I've heard is "rose" but with the soft s as in
simple rather than the z of rose and nose.
