Could you play Rare Candy to evolve Budew into Roserade, for example?

I think you could. Since you're playing a Stage 1 card on a basic (since "babies" are actually basics), which Rare Candy allows you to do.

No, you can not. Baby Pokemon don't evolve into their stage 1 forms, as their evolution isn't written on either the Basic or stage 1 card.
 
Since rare candy says a card that evolves from it and you don't need the baby you can't use rare candy.

However you can still turn 2 a roserade by T1 baby evouluton into Roselia, and then next turn just evolving.
 
That would be like rare candying a horsea to baltoy, since the cards don't reference each other.

You can't do it.
 
DoX:Actually, using Baby evolution will turn tHE basic to a stage one IIRC so candy can't be played, i we just Have to wait for kaga.
 
alot of misconceptions.

baby pokemon cannot have a rare candy played for them, because they do not normally evolve into what they go to.

EXAMPLE
Pichu -> Pikachu

not a normal evolution, because both are basic pokemon. Now if you used Baby Evolution on Pichu to play Pikachu on it, it would seem that you can play Rare Candy, but alas you cannot.
Rare candy can only be played on basic pokemon, and a Pikachu evolved from Pichu, is an EVOLVED BASIC.

Hope this clarifys everything.
