Thought I would like to tell you about Roses. I thought to write this review. Cadbury roses have been around for ages, as long as I can remember. Just found out they were first introduced in 1938

When I was a child a box of these sweets often appeared as a Christmas treat in the distinctive blue cardboard carton. In 1980 a large blue tin was produced containing 1 kg. In 2004 a new box of roses appeared, the luxury collection in a blue box with the red rose emblem.

At the Bournville factory where they are produced there is the capacity to make 5 and ½ million chocolates per day (even I could not eat that many).
There is a choice of 14 varieties of chocolate in a box of Roses each chocolate is individually wrapped in coloured foil paper. (I often safe this for art work with children)

Cadburys roses are individual bite sized chocolates that have different fillings. Open my box of chocolates and explore the variety.

The metallic orange foil wrapper wraps around a square milk chocolate with a rounded top. Bite into this one and its an orange cream. Nice but sweet.

Another orange foil wrapper this time around a long chocolate bite into this one it had no cream filling but lots of little crisp orange speckles throughout the chocolate, these taste orangey. mmm tasty.


A dark pink metallic foil wrapper house a chocolate that is dome shaped. I bite into this and it is a strawberry flavour, delicious.

Next a green foil wrapper I open this to disclose a chocolate cone shape, bitten into it is a soft runny caramel. I like this one.

A gold wrapper holds a square chocolate a bite into this is hard the chocolate covers a hard caramel sweet, not for granddad with his false teeth.

More gold wrapping this time around a barrel shaped sweet. This chocolate barrel contains liquid caramel .Its tasty.

A plain green foil wrapper hides a chocolate cone inside this is a creamy gooey caramel. This one is good

Another gold covered chocolate this time a long stick shape. Unroll this stick it is chocolate covered fudge sweet. Its ok, not special but ok.

Next a square shape wrapped in foil, red in the centre with yellow edges. This wrapper holds a sweet with a dark chocolate covering and a toffee filling, its pleasant.

Another square shaped chocolate covered in blue foil this time. When you bite through the outer coat of chocolate the centre is a creamy chocolate truffle. Yes I like this one too.

A silver foil with roses on it covers another cone shaped chocolate this has a soft chocolate type filling I do not try this, as I know I do not like nuts

The next one from the tin is in a purple metallic foil wrap this chocolate is in a whirl. I do not try this one either it has a small hazel nut in the middle

Another one I do not like is the one in another purple wrapper a nut shaped chocolate with some caramel inside it hidden inside the caramel is a hazel nut.

One I do like is the standard milk chocolate a miniature 2 squares of Cadbury dairy milk.

So I like most of the varieties of Roses sweets they make a good present for me to give and receive. They are good for sharing with a group of people. Roses cost £3.18 for a 480g box and about £10 for a 1 kg tin.
Thank you for letting me indulge myself with one of my favourite chocolate boxes Mary
