In this sentence, the verb "compra" is in the third person singular form, so the pronoun that corresponds to "tú" (you) should also be in the third person singular form. The correct pronoun in this case is "te", which means "you" in the singular form. Therefore, the sentence translates to "Rosa buys the red dress for you."
