Rosaceae belongs to the order Rosales. It is also known as Rose family.
The Rosaceae is a large and diverse family of flowering plants that includes herbs, shrubs, and trees. These plants are found mostly in the Northern Hemisphere and grow in a wide range of climates—from cool temperate regions to warm Mediterranean zones. Many have showy flowers with five petals and numerous stamens, and their fruits come in many forms, including berries, drupes, and pomes. Rosaceae species are common in woodlands, meadows, and gardens, and many are grown for food or ornamental use.
A well-known crop in this family is the apple (Malus domestica), a temperate tree cultivated worldwide for its crisp, sweet fruit. Apples are eaten fresh, cooked, or processed into juice, cider, and other products. The tree thrives in cool to mild climates and is one of the most widely grown fruit crops globally.
