The Rosette Nebula will be a challenge, as it has a very low surface brightness over a large area. You will probably require a dark sky site to see this one, but may depend on your local light pollution.
It, the OC, can (apparently) be seen with 10x50mm bins under favourable conditions. You may need a decent aperture to view the nebula, with a good wide-field eyepiece. I haven't seen it yet, although I have tried.
Good luck! Others will advise you on this target.
Cheers
