roosõieliste

Roosõieliste, also known by its scientific name Rosaceae, is a large and diverse family of flowering plants. This family includes many well-known and economically important species, such as roses, apples, pears, cherries, strawberries, and almonds. Rosaceae are found worldwide, primarily in temperate regions, and are characterized by their pentamerous flowers, meaning they typically have five petals. The fruits produced by plants in this family are also highly varied, ranging from the fleshy drupes of cherries and peaches to the aggregate fruits of strawberries and raspberries, and the pomes of apples and pears. Many species within the Rosaceae family possess thorns or prickles, a characteristic feature of many roses. The family is divided into several subfamilies, reflecting the significant evolutionary divergence within the group. Cultivated species are important for food, ornamental purposes, and in traditional medicine.
