Rabdophaga rosacea is a species of gall midge that creates rosette galls on roses found in the central plains of North America.[2][3][4]
The species was first described in 1908 by Ephraim Porter Felt from a collection made by Norman Criddle in Aweme, Manitoba, Canada.[1][5] The holotype, an adult male, is in the New York State Museum collection.[5]
