I was surprised to see what Rosebud was. I had a sense in the beginning about what it might be. When I saw the sled after Kane is taken by Thatcher and it is sitting on the ground gaining snow it stood out to me that it could be Rosebud. In the the end it is finally revealed to us as we see the sled being thrown into the fire that is was Rosebud.

Nice idea about the symbolism and i agree the shot of the sled slowly burning does relate on how kane's life pretty much did go down in a flaming mess

I had the same reaction when I discovered what Rosebud was as well, and agree entirely with you on the symbolism and the effects of the cinematography.
I (Isaiah) thought that the burning also showed how the reporters were so close, but they ended up burning the biggest hint as to the identity of rosebud. Pretty ironic if you ask me.
