Rosebud signified childhood, memories of the past, and happier times in CITIZEN KANE. Doctorates have been written on this topic; CITIZEN KANE ,that is, with "Rosebud" playing a significant part.

Symbolically, a rosebud is a beautiful flower that never came to full life. The bud is tightly bound and has to unfurl to realize its complete beauty. A rosebud is an immature rose or a child before becoming an adult. The rosebud becomes a rose which then matures and becomes the fruit, or the rose hip. In Citizen Kane, the child has not become the man. He is arrested in an innocent stage of his life. He has not matured, or unfurled to become an adult. He does not understand adult "values".

In Citizen Kane (still called "The Greatest Movie Ever Made") Rosebud was the name of the sled belonging to the main character, Kane, played by Orsen Wells. It was given to him by his mother and it is allagorical to his relationship to his mother and even his mother herself.. After amassing great wealth, power and influence in whirlwind life the only thing he had left of significance to him was his sled and his sled was really the only thing that he had that connected him to his mother who sent him away when he was very young. It was Rosebud that was the driving force in his life. The sled, Rosebud, was his mother and all the money, power and influence in the world did not mean as much to him in the end than his rememberance of and connection to his sled, i.e., Rosebud, his mother.

Charles Foster Kane's sled. Also, it is reported that "Rosebud" was WR Randolph Heast's (on whose life CK was based) nickname for his weird little wife, or more specifically, his wife's, ummm... "hoo-hoo." This got a LOT of people mad at Welles. He was brilliant!
Love, Jack.
