We present the first observation of the decay ${B}^{+}\ensuremath{\rightarrow}{\ensuremath{\rho}}^{+}{K}^{0}$, using a data sample of $348\text{ }\text{ }{\mathrm{fb}}^{\ensuremath{-}1}$ collected at the $\ensuremath{\Upsilon}(4S)$ resonance with the BABAR detector. The branching fraction and charge asymmetry are measured to be $({8.0}_{\ensuremath{-}1.3}^{+1.4}\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}0.6)\ifmmode\times\else\texttimes\fi{}{10}^{\ensuremath{-}6}$ and $(\ensuremath{-}12.2\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}16.6\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}2.0)%$, respectively, where the first uncertainty is statistical and the second is …
