"Infrared Roses" is a live compilation album by the Grateful Dead. It is a conglomeration of their famous improvisational segments "Drums" and "Space."

Somewhere in the middle of the second set of a Grateful Dead concert came a period of musical improvisation. This part of the concert is commonly referred to as "Space," and came right after a drum solo or duet. "Infrared Roses" is a compilation of these performances. There are no recognizable songs from the band's repertoire on this release. Robert Hunter, probably best known for his numerous collaborations with the Grateful Dead, created the names of the tracks for the album.

Music from "Infrared Roses" was used as the soundtrack for the 18 minute Grateful Dead video "Infrared Sightings".
