Poor quality chocolate. Too sickly sweet. Sludgy and awful. Will not buy again. Will not recommend. These chocolates are bought automatically as a cheap sort of treat at Christmas or birthdays. Anyone receiving them will be disappointed. Get the message!

These sweets are awful now, won't buy again. Very sickly sweet and tasteless. No plain chocolate anymore Brazil nut caramel was the best. Surely with so much competition you would try harder to make these better, with something more interesting in the tub. Please can next year we see a improvement.

Waxy/greasy chocolate, nearly all vile sickly fondants , you can taste the glued together wrappers too, no toffees or swirled chocolate, dairy milk for what it’s worth, rest are waxy chocolate and yucky fondant/praline sickly stuff, Quality street are much nicer and more selections Very sad used to love Cadbury roses!

What has happened Cadbury? These, along with Heroes are tasteless. The chocolate is just greasy and bland, its horrific. Nothing at all like the bars. Never again!

These chocalates used to be ok the last 5 years or more are far to sweet the soft centres are not the same generic sweet garbage.what a shame these used to be great quality street also these days have gone same way.i stopped buying roses years ago because of above reason.but this year bought a tub because i couldnt get any celebrations sold out.never again how do the people at cadbury think this is a good product ? Really dissapointing .

Simply the worst box of chocolates I have ever eaten. Am not sure how you could produce such a dreadful product. Has anyone from Cadbury actually tasted their produce? Do not buy and do not eat if offered. You will regret it.

What an absolute breath of fresh air the roses wrappers are....after yrs of trying to decipher which sweet contained allergens the wrapping now is fantastic! Saying exactly which sweet it is and which allergen it may contain....as for value for money thats another matter but in general give yourselves a pat on the back cadburys its took you long enough.

This is definitely not the roses I loved. Says there is Caramels,there was 1 in the box,everything else too sweet ,too sugary. No choice anymore.

I just bought some for Halloween and thought I would be going down memory lane. Not only have they changed the packaing of each individual chocolate, each one (dairy milk is the exception) seems to be a lot worse! I knew Cadbury was bought out by an American company but I did not realise they would destroy a classic… clearly I was wrong. If I could give a zero of five, this would earn that accolade… Need something to rinse my mouth now…

Cadburys Roses are no longer a quality treat, they taste awful, CADBURYS ROSES should be sold as a Predominatly CHOCOLATE FREE case, filled with barely edible way to sweet artificial tasting goo. SO NASTY TASTEING I thought they were fake. On a positive note, There are very few in the container, making binning them after removing the exesive non recyclable wrappers less of a guilt trip. This review is written by someone who eats a lot of Chocolates. However I will not be buying any more Cadbury Roses.

What were Christmas staples are now unpalatable garbage thanks to poor quality ingredients designed to save money and boost profits. The hazelenut in caramel in particular has an unbelievably bad aftertaste. It's sad to say, but these now don't bear any resemblance to the chocolates of the past. They're more like vomit tasting American chocolate. Save yourself disappointment and don't buy them.

Roses chocolates are an abomination to mankind! They used to be lovely when I was young- I adored the strawberry cream! I hate the now cloying waxy texture and American style taste sickly sweet . Plus amount of palm/ soy used is unacceptable and you can taste the soya bean too. The worst thing though is how environmentally destructive the wrappers are. Although the plastic tub is recyclable, the wrappers are made of a metallic foil that isn’t. So that’s billions of these wrappers going into landfill. Just appalling. At least Quality Street ( Nestle) are making some effort to use paper wrapping. Cadbury ( oh sorry- Kraft) need to look at alternatives plus their use of palm oil. Never going to buy them again. Disgusting! Why do they think the British public will eventually warm to American chocolate? No.

I don’t know what’s happened to these “chocolates” but I won’t be buying them again until they start making them like they used to. They taste very low quality and all have the same greasy texture and the chocolate is bland. Nothing like the old varieties. All very sickly and tasteless.

What have you done - they taste absolutely foul, they’re disgusting. Whatever you have changed put it back to normal as I’ll never buy a tub of roses that taste like this again

Flavours internally still fairly good but the chocolate is gross. You would not know you're eating cadburys. It's so bland and sugary. Horrible. Where is the creamy dairy milk choclate that used to surround these treats. Milk Tray are the same. I used to treat myself and my family to a box every month but sadly I will now stop buying. Gutted.. but will be good for the waistline!!

I was given a 600g tub of Cadbury Roses.(I am unable to call it a tin as it isn’t) I am pleased that I didn’t pay for that gift, as it would have been a total waste of my money. The Roses of old have all gone, replaced with sickly American style chocolate. I have read all of the reviews and virtually every one says how awful Roses are since the takeover by Kraft. But I wonder if the new owners of Cadbury have read and listened to the opinions of their customers. I think not! Or they would have acted on the complaints. Come on Kraft, sort this out. Having worked for an American firm, I know that American management are never wrong and that in their opinions, we British should change our views or tastes! Bottom line - I will never buy or accept Cadbury Roses ever again!

Most delicious chocolate I've ever had. My favorite are chocolate and orange. I enjoy this and often get the larger tub.

SmithOwn you must have very low expectations.
They are disgusting. The chocolate is horrible and has been for a few years now. Made from Soya & Palm oil what a disgusting taste.Not real chocolate.
One good thing they have reduced the weight of the box so less of it to eat.
Hero’s still my favourite then celebrations followed by Quality street but they have gone back a bit.
It’s hard to find the hazelnut in the humptyback.
Whatever happened to the Brazil nut chocolate toffee I can’t remember who made it I think they all made a version of it but it’s vanished.

Traditionally, I was given a box of Roses chocolates this year in appreciation for a small service. How very disappointing to realise they are now absolute rubbish and totally unenjoyable to eat. Not one dark coated chocolate as stated on the box cover, the so called peppermint creme crunch was very mildly peppermint with milk chocolate plus a most unpalatable gritty texture. After a second try from confusing wrapping indications, that was enough, no more. To now give Cadbury's Roses to anyone in future, would be an outright insult. Cadbury, you need to reappraise your product.

Horrible chocolate waxy and fake loved the original milky chocolate roses but alas they are gone to be replaced by sweet sickly waxy rubbish

Used to love Roses chocolates, each one was different and looked hand made, now the packaging is boring and the chocolates are boring, all for the sake of profit . Cadburys, you continue to let us down, shame on you. Cath Kidston tin most interesting aspect, which I paid extra for.
