Rosebud is famous for its "Rosebud Christmas tree." This is a very tall artificial tree, about 170 feet high. It is located at 128 W. Main St. An electric company called Bell Falls Milam Electric Co-op put up the tree in the early 1960s.
Later, another company bought them out. In 2013, a new company, M6 Oilfield Rentals and Mfg, LLC, bought the property. The owner, Kenny Ray Murray, said that the Christmas tree is a special symbol for Rosebud. He promised it would stay there for a long time.
