Editing Rosales (section)

==Taxonomy==
The order Rosales is strongly [[Resampling (statistics)|supported]] as [[monophyletic]] in [[phylogenetic]] analyses of [[DNA sequence]]s, such as those carried out by members of the [[Angiosperm Phylogeny Group]].<ref name="judd2008">Walter S.

In the older classification system of [[Rolf Dahlgren|Dahlgren]] the Rosales were in the [[superorder]] Rosiflorae (also called Rosanae). In the obsolete [[Cronquist system]], the order Rosales was many times [[polyphyletic]]. It consisted of the family Rosaceae and 23 other families that are now placed in various other orders.<ref name="cronquist1981">[[Arthur John Cronquist]]. 1981.
