Acleris bergmanniana, the Yellow Rose Button Moth, is a moth of the Tortricidae family. It is found from most of Europe to the eastern Palearctic ecozone.[1]

The wingspan is 12–15 mm.[2] The forewings are marked with metallic blue-grey striations, edged with rufous. There are also two small raised tufts of black scales. Adults are on wing from June to July.[3]

The larvae feed on the leaves and shoots of rose Rosa species (Rosa canina), as well as Rhamnus catharctica.
