What is Cadbury Roses?

Roses is Cadbury's boxed assortment, first made in 1938 and named after Rose Brothers, the firm that built the wrapping machinery. Each chocolate is individually twist-wrapped in coloured foil, which is the detail people remember: the tub goes on the table, the wrappers accumulate beside it, and everyone develops strong opinions about which colour is worth taking.

The 475g tub is the sharing size rather than the gift box. In Britain it is a fixture of Christmas, of office desks in December, and of the tin that stays open on a sideboard for a fortnight. The assortment mixes caramels, fondant centres, hazelnut and orange creams, though the exact line-up changes over the years as flavours are retired and added.

Why you cannot find it in American stores

Roses is a British and Irish product. It is not part of the Cadbury range that Hershey makes under licence for the United States, so it does not appear on American shelves at all. This is a different situation from Dairy Milk, where a US bar exists but is made to another recipe. With Roses there is no American version to compare against; the product simply is not sold there.

The closest American reference point is a mixed bag of miniatures, but the comparison does not really hold. Roses is built around soft centres and caramels in Cadbury milk chocolate, and the twist-wrap format is central to how it is eaten. Importing the British tub is the only way to get it.

Buying it as a gift

The tub travels well, which is not true of every chocolate product. It is sealed, the individual wrappers give each chocolate a second layer of protection, and the format is recognisable enough that it works as a present for a British expat without needing explanation.

Two practical points. Order early for Christmas rather than in December, when demand for British confectionery is at its highest and shipping windows are tightest. And if you are sending it somewhere warm, think about the season: soft-centred chocolates suffer more from heat than a solid bar does.

Shipping is a flat $39.99 below $99 and free above it, so pairing it with more from Chocolate, Sweets, Mints & Chewing Gum or the Food Cupboard usually costs less than paying to ship the tub alone. New customers can use NEW10 for 10% off.

Frequently asked questions

Is Cadbury Roses sold in the United States?

No. Roses is a British and Irish line and is not part of the Hershey-licensed Cadbury range sold in American stores. It has to be imported.

What is the difference between Roses and Heroes?

Roses is twist-wrapped soft centres and caramels. Heroes is miniature versions of full-size Cadbury bars such as Wispa, Twirl and Fudge. Different products, often bought together.

How many chocolates are in a 475g tub?

It varies with the mix, since the sweets differ in weight, but a 475g tub is sized as a sharing tub for a household or an office rather than a single-person box.

Will it melt on the way?

It can, in warm weather. We do not ship chocolate with temperature-controlled packaging, because the ice packs we tested caused condensation that damaged both the chocolate and the rest of the parcel. We cannot replace items affected by heat in transit, so check your local temperature before ordering in summer.
