We identified possible optical young stars in the Rosette Nebula by using the IRAS and the ROSAT databases. The previously reported “diffuse” X-ray emission has been resolved into point sources. Forty-seven point sources are detected above 3-sigma of the X-ray background, and twenty-seven of these have stellar counterparts. Some of the young star candidates appear to be associated Herbig-Haro nebular features.
