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.
