after, push your pawn and its game over. THe move after he promotes its checkmate...
1. ...Rg2+
2. Kh1 ...e3-e2
3. h7-h8 (promotes) ...e2-e1++

I can surely see why Rg2+ would look good if you had to make a quick decision. Look at it this way however. Moving your rook anywhere from h3-h6 can't lose. Sometimes it is better to make a waiting move if it doesn't worsen your position. Of course if you're in time trouble you do what you can!

Good lesson learned for the future. With your connected pawns and his king on the other side of the board he has no threats as long as you keep his single pawn covered.
