Rosoideae
The rose subfamily Rosoideae consists of more than 850 species, including many shrubs, perennial herbs, and fruit plants such as strawberries and brambles. Only a few are annual herbs. The circumscription of the Rosoideae is still not wholly certain; recent genetic research has resulted in several changes at the genus level and the removal from Rosoideae of some genera (notably '' Cercocarpus'', '' Cowania'', '' Dryas'' and '' Purshia'') previously included in the subfamily.

Rubeae
''Rubus'' is a large and diverse genus of flowering plants in the rose family, Rosaceae, subfamily Rosoideae, most commonly known as brambles. Fruits of various species are known as Raspberry, raspberries, Blackberry, blackberries, Dewberry, dewberries, and bristleberries. It is a diverse genus, with the estimated number of List of Rubus species, ''Rubus'' species varying from 250 to over 1000, found across all continents except Antarctica. Most of these plants have woody stems with prickles like roses; spines, bristles, and gland-tipped hairs are also common in the genus. The ''Rubus'' fruit, sometimes called a bramble fruit, is an Aggregate fruit, aggregate of drupelets. The term ''cane fruit'' or ''cane berry'' applies to any ''Rubus'' species or Hybrid (biology), hybrid which is commonly grown with supports such as wires or canes, including raspberries, blackberries, and hybrids such as loganberry, boysenberry, marionberry and tayberry. The stems of such plants are also refer ...

Purshia
''Purshia'' (bitterbrush or cliff-rose) is a small genus of 5–8 species of flowering plants in the family Rosaceae which are native to western North America. Description ''Purshia'' species form deciduous or evergreen shrubs, typically reaching tall. The leaves are long, deeply three- to five-lobed, with revolute margins. The flowers are 1–2 cm in diameter, with five white to pale yellow or pink petals and yellow stamens. The fruit is a cluster of dry, slender, leathery achenes which are 2–6 cm long. The roots have nodules that host nitrogen-fixing ''Frankia'' bacterium. Taxonomy Taxonomic history The genus was originally placed in the subfamily Rosoideae. In the past, the evergreen species were treated separately in the genus ''Cowania''; this genus is still accepted by some botanists. Modern classification The classification of ''Purshia'' within the family Rosaceae has been unclear. It is now placed in the subfamily Dryadoideae. Species ''Purshia'' compr ...

Dryas (plant)
''Dryas'' is a genus of perennial cushion-forming evergreen dwarf shrubs in the family Rosaceae, native to the arctic and alpine regions of Europe, Asia and North America. The genus is named after the dryads, the tree nymphs of ancient Greek mythology. The classification of ''Dryas'' within the Rosaceae has been unclear. The genus was formerly placed in the subfamily Rosoideae, but is now placed in subfamily Dryadoideae. The species are superficially similar to '' Geum'' (with which they share the common name avens), ''Potentilla'', and ''Fragaria'' (strawberry). However, ''Dryas'' are distinct in having flowers with ''eight'' petals (rarely seven or up to ten), instead of the five petals found in most other genera in the Rosaceae. The flowers are erect and white with a yellow centre ('' Dryas integrifolia'', ''Dryas octopetala'') or pendulous and all-yellow ('' Dryas drummondii''), and held conspicuously above the small plants. This makes them very popular in rockeries and ...

Ulmarieae
''Filipendula'' is a genus of 12 species of perennial herbaceous flowering plants in the family Rosaceae, native to the temperate regions of the Northern Hemisphere. Well-known species include meadowsweet (''Filipendula ulmaria'') and dropwort (''Filipendula vulgaris''), both native to Europe, and queen-of-the-forest (''Filipendula occidentalis'') and queen-of-the-prairie (''Filipendula rubra''), native to North America. The species grow to between 0.5–2 m tall, with large inflorescences of small five-petalled flowers, creamy-white to pink-tinged in most species, dark pink in ''F. rubra''. ''Filipendula'' fruit are unusual, sometimes described as an indehiscent follicle, or as an achene. ''Filipendula'' species are used as food plants by the larvae of some Lepidoptera species: emperor moth, grey pug, grizzled skipper, Hebrew character, lime-speck pug, mottled beauty and the satellite have all been recorded on meadowsweet. The species were in the past sometimes treate ...

Cercocarpus
''Cercocarpus'', commonly known as mountain mahogany, is a small genus of at least nine species of nitrogen-fixing flowering plants in the rose family, Rosaceae. They are native to the western United States and northern Mexico, where they grow in chaparral and semidesert habitats and climates, often at high altitudes. Several are found in the California chaparral and woodlands ecoregion. The classification of ''Cercocarpus'' within the Rosaceae has been unclear. The genus has been placed in the subfamily Rosoideae, but is now placed in subfamily Dryadoideae. Members of the genus are deciduous shrubs or small trees, typically reaching heights of 3–6 m (9–18 ft) tall, but exceptionally up to 13 m (40 ft) high. '' C. montanus'' usually remains under 1 m (3 ft) high because of incessant grazing by elk and deer. The name is derived from the Greek Greek may refer to: Anything of, from, or related to Greece, a country in Southern Europe: *Gree ...

Aphanes
''Aphanes'' (parsley-piert) is a genus of around 20 species in the rose family (Rosaceae), native to Europe, Asia and Australia. A 2003 study indicated that ''Aphanes'' may belong to the genus ''Alchemilla'', commonly called lady's-mantle. They are slender, annual prostrate herbs, much-branched with deeply lobed leaves, pilose (covered with soft hair) and on short petioles. The tiny green to yellow flowers without petals grow in clusters in the denticulate leaflike stipule In botany, a stipule is an outgrowth typically borne on both sides (sometimes on just one side) of the base of a leafstalk (the petiole (botany), petiole). They are primarily found among dicots and rare among monocots. Stipules are considered part ...s.

Fragaria
''Fragaria'' () is a genus of flowering plants in the rose family, Rosaceae, commonly known as strawberries for their edible fruits. There are more than 20 described species and many Hybrid plant, hybrids and cultivars. The most common strawberries grown commercially are cultivars of the strawberry, garden strawberry, a hybrid known as ''Fragaria'' × ''ananassa''. Strawberries have a taste that varies by cultivar, and ranges from quite sweet to rather tart. Strawberries are an important commercial fruit crop, widely grown in all temperate regions of the world. Description Strawberries are not Berry (botany), berries in the botanical sense.Esau, K. 1977. ''Anatomy of seed plants''. John Wiley and Sons, New York. The fleshy and edible part of the "fruit" is a receptacle (botany), receptacle, and the parts that are sometimes mistakenly called "seeds" are achenes and therefore the true botanical fruits. Etymology The genus name derives from ("strawberry") and , a suffix used to c ...
