Rosales is an order of flowering plants, including the rose family, Rosaceae. The families given at right are typical of modern classification systems. Aside from the Rosaceae themselves, this is a complete change in composition from the Rosales from the older Cronquist taxonomy:

  • Brunelliaceae
  • Connaraceae
  • Eucryphiaceae
  • Cunoniaceae
  • Davidsoniaceae
  • Dialypetalanthaceae
  • Pittosporaceae
  • Byblidaceae
  • Hydrangeaceae
  • Columelliaceae
  • Grossulariaceae
  • Greyiaceae
  • Bruniaceae
  • Anisophylleaceae
  • Alseuosmiaceae
  • Crassulaceae
  • Cephalotaceae
  • Saxifragaceae
  • Rosaceae
  • Neuradaceae
  • Crossosomataceae
  • Chrysobalanaceae
  • Surianaceae
  • Rhabdodendraceae

These forms have been removed to various other orders, most notable the Saxifragales, while the former Urticales have been transferred here.
