Roses And Relatives (Rosales)

This group gathers Flowering Plants subcategory members belonging to the order Rosales, centered on the rose family Rosaceae itself, source of the apple, cherry, peach, strawberry and the ornamental roses, together with its closest fabid relatives: the fig and mulberry family Moraceae, the nettle family Urticaceae (including the stinging nettle), the hemp family Cannabaceae (hemp and cannabis), and the elm family Ulmaceae. For practical browsing at this subcategory's scale it also gathers a handful of members from the neighboring fabid orders Fagales, the oaks, chestnuts and hazels, and Cucurbitales, the cucumbers and melons, rather than giving each of those orders its own single-digit heading; a future further split by order remains possible if either grows. What unites the core of this group is the five-petaled flower and fleshy or dry fruit typical of temperate-zone fruit and nut trees worldwide.
