You found the key, but...

Bravo! The key is indeed Rh3!
But the fight is not finished and the very idea of the problem still unshown :-)
1.Rh3 Rxh3 (black cannot refuse the gift because of a nice king hunt 2...Kg6 3.Qe4+ Qxe4 3.g8=Q+ Kf6 4. Qg7+ Ke6 5.Qe7+ Kd5 6.Rd1+ and white wins) 2.g8=N+! Qxg8! (now Kg6 leads to mate after 3.Qc2+, hence the key) 3.Kxg8 Rh6+ 4.Kh8! (not Kf7 Rf3+ 5.Ke7 Rf1 6.Qe8 Kh7 and white cannot progress anymore) and now 4...Rf6 (not Re6 5.Qe4!! and white wins)
5.??
You still have to deal with g1=Q... how to win? A second round of violent chess is needed!
