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.
'Rosebud' was a sled that Kane attached so many fond and carefree memories from his childhood .
Orson Welles himself played Charles Foster Kane in the movie Citizen Kane (1941).

This quote originally came from the film Citizen Kane. The quote was said by the character Charles Foster Kane.
I think the first word in 'Citizen Kane' is "Rosebud", but I might be wrong --- Actually it is. Movie begins by showing a sign on a fence, "NO TRESPASSING" it says. Then the camera moves upwards showing yet more fences. Then an iron gate is shown with the letter "K" in the middle. Then a couple of monkeys, a pair of gondolas and finally a big house with the lights on in one window. The light goes out. Then it comes back again (more intense). Then a hand holding a glass sphere, a face that says "Rosebud". Then the hand lets go of the glass sphere that rolls and falls and cracks open. --- It is Rosebud, this question was just asked on "who wants to be a millionaire".
