Rosebud is the name printed on the sleigh/sled that Kane had as a little boy and is his last fond memory of a lost innocence and happy childhood. Hence as he is dying he gazes into the snow-globe and nostalgically recalls the happiness of his lost innocence, a happiness that none of his successes, adulation and material wealth have been able to replicate. He dies whispering "Rosebud..." as an invocation. The snow-globe falls from his lifeless hand and goes rattling across the floor...the movie begins.
