Taxonomy
Rosaceae is the first diverging lineage of the Rosales in the Apg3 classification.
In the Plant theory Rosaceae were formerly placed in Subphase 1. Now Rosaceae has been split in 3 Subfamilies. Rosaceae is a big Family. Splitting Rosaceae creates 3 Subfamilies with a more proportionate amount of genera.
