What were they thinking! The old chocolates were perfect, these new ones actually went in the bin. Absolute crap bring back the old recipe as we won’t be buying them again until they are changed back.

I detest the new 'roses chocolates' but I'm more concerned the company doesn't appear to take any notice of all the scripted reviews complaining of the same thing? For goodness sake, at least give consumers the option of the traditional ones as well, if you insist on selling the latter.

If I had the gift of foresight, i would have purchased 200 boxes of the traditional box years ago and gifted them to family for 2022/20 (worth more than gold it seems) Off chocolate would taste better than these imposters!

It seems incredible that Cadbury can change an iconic product so badly and actually think they have done a good thing, was given as a christmas gift and I feel terrible complaining but!!

Roses were the benchmark for chocolates for decades in Australia. Simple, reliable, always good for a gift. Now they are trash. The flavours are trash. The wrapping is trash. The weird mix of textures (crunchy pieces in most) is vile. The chocolate disintegrates without any kind of pleasure. Hadn’t bought them since first trying the new types but was given a box for Christmas and it just confirmed previous loathing for this new version. Arnotts learnt their lesson when they needlessly changed Shapes. Cadbury needs to do the same and switch back to the original.

Bring back the old ones new ones just pukey don’t buy them

Just got gifted a box of roses, i love chocolate but have been on a strict budget till i find a new job. I feel like bursting into tears because roses are just so disgusting now. And i mean vile. And im not just saying that because im born and bread Dunedin, they really are vile, mud probably tastes better, im so dissapointed
How can i rate no stars ?
I feel bad my relative wasted their money on this product

Give us back the original cadbury roses. The new ones are terrible. For example the peppermint flavour which use to have a soft centre is now a peppermint crisp. Horrible. The hazelnut flavour use to have a whole hazelnut in the centre. Now it has chips of hazel nut. Where is strawberry and the white raspberry isn't that nice. I won't be buying it until they pick their act up. I prefer cadbury favourites.
Unhappy

Recently gifted a box of my all time favourite chocolates.. I just can't understand why they are no longer delicious soft centred goodness anymore?
They are awful, flavourless and just bland. Heartbreaking to see another childhood favourite ruined!
Don't waste your money on this old time fave... You'll be sadly disappointed.

When Roses changed their chocolates (not a fan of new ones at all) I thought that was it for me and chocolate. BUT then I tried Quality Street Chocolates and bam all my old roses favs wrapped like they used to be. Try them you will not be disappointed. They may actually be better than old roses.....

Chocolate texture is disgusting
New flavours are disgusting
Old favourites missing
Same name
Different product
Absolutely disgusting

I haven't purchased Roses chocolates since they got rid of strawberry creams, marshmallows and the original peppermint - I was too upset and couldn't see the point. However, I was given a box for Christmas instead of giving them away I thought I'd give the new chocolates a go. I don't understand what you were thinking Cadbury in creating such inferior tasting chocolates? I could not finish one of the flavours. All were terrible in comparisons to previous selections and were so sickly they made me feel quite unwell. The packaging has taken all the excitement out of opening the original chocolates. It seems you don't know who your customers are at all.

Was so disappointed after buying our usual large box of Roses chocolates at Christmas! The flavours were different and the charm of opening a box of ‘real chocolates’ replaced by just another box of ordinary chocolates just like any other cheap version. The wrapping of the individual chocolates looks blah! The white raspberry flavour is so sickly - no one wanted it! Hazelnut was missing the whole nut and the original shapes had changed! In general a bad experience! Won’t be back for more next year - the tradition is dead! Together with your use of palm oil I’m out!

Cadbury Roses new flavours are terrible. New Roses are not what we grew up loving. No strawberry cream, no peppermint cream, no fudge, no cherry ripe, no hazelnut swirl. Without these flavours it ain’t Roses. I opened a tin I got for Xmas and no one in family wants to eat them. Cadbury should have left roses the same and created a different brand name for new flavours. I will not buy the new roses.

Cadbury's chocolate is now just horrible wax-like American rubbish. To top it all off they use palm oil too. So not only does it taste awful, it's also driving orangutans to extinction. Brilliant.

Have Brought Probably 200 Boxes over my 53 Years as Presents... Have had Plenty given to me over the Years. I received a large box the other Day as a Present. I was like Yum. Opened the Box noticed the wrapping changed and hard to open. Liked the Luxury feel of twisting them open. Then I started looking for My Favourites.... Gone Then I realised I heard they had changed there products for a Younger Market. Well if that’s what they like You have Lost Me Plus my Family and All my Friends that have Brought Roses as a Staple in there Life. Someone has a Party take a Box of Roses. Now I will look At Other Chocolates ... Good Bye Roses... Where’s my Fudge, Mint Creme, Strawberry Creme, Marshmellow and Caramel!!!!

Disappointed & dumbfounded as to why Cadbury changed their original roses??? Why change a perfectly good combination of chocolates that’s been around for more than 50 years! Bring back the old roses with the peppermint & strawberry.

I bought a round tin of Roses as a Christmas gift for my wife. She is a big fan of Roses or to be more accurate was a big fan.
On opening she was disappointed to find her traditional favorites were either missing or so altered as to bear no semblance with the taste and textures previously enjoyed from a box of Roses. Simply put they were just "cheap and nasty" and smack of Cadbury having adopted a corporate philosophy of prioritising the dollar gained ahead of the product sold in exchange for it.
Well got us this time round, but will give it a pass hereon.

These are not Rose's chocolates. Plastic box,plastic chocolate. Never again .
