The '''superrosids''' are members of a large clade (monophyletic group) of flowering plants, containing more than 88,000 species,{{r|wang2009}} and thus more than a quarter of all angiosperms.{{r|scotland2003}}
The clade is divided into 18 orders as defined in APG IV system. These orders, in turn, together comprise about 155 families.{{r|APG4}}
The name is based upon the name "Rosidae", which had usually been understood to be a subclass.
== Relationships == The rosids and Saxifragales form the superrosids clade.{{r|apweb}} This is one of three groups that compose the Pentapetalae (core eudicots minus Gunnerales),{{r|cantino2007}} the others being Dilleniales and the superasterids (Berberidopsidales, Caryophyllales, Santalales, and asterids).{{r|apweb}}
== Phylogeny == The phylogeny of superrosids shown below is adapted from the Angiosperm Phylogeny Group website.{{r|apweb}}
