Rose Agnes Greenwell (January 8, 1894 – September 3, 1982) was an American Catholic nun and botanist. In 1932 she collected the holotype of Eupatorium resinosum var. kentuckiense, which the Southern Appalachian Botanical Society reported was the only known specimen of its type.[1] With Liberty Hyde Bailey she discovered a Kentucky dewberry that he named Rubus rosagnetis in her honor.[2][3][4]
