Hem's partner in hesitation (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

haw

(Other definitions for haw that I've seen before include "Fruit of common thorn tree (3)" , "A blackthorn berry" , "Small red berry of a thorny tree" , "Fruit of the may tree" , "Fruit of a thorny bush" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times.
