French people say it as it is written, like English people would pronounce roz-moand, or roz-errr (like errr? what?)- moand

My guess would be

(harsh "r" sound)rose-a- MOAND

Looks French to me,too.
If so it should be pronounced Ros-mongd.
The S should be voiced, the stress is on the second syllable and the last vowel is typically French like in "bon" and hard to explain. It is sort of a nasal O shaped in the back of your throat. Listen to Paul McCartney trying to sing: "Michelle, ma belle, SONT le mots …" He is doing a fairly good job.
