I had a tin of Roses at christmas and I agree that they have changed and are not as nice. They have too many caramel ones and not much of a variety at all
Found this on Wikipedia Current variaties:- * Brazilian Darkness - Red wrapper with gold twists. * Cadbury Dairy Milk - Purple Dairy Milk wrapper. * Caramel - Blue wrapped. * Caramel Velvet - Green foil wrapped. * Country Fudge - Log shaped gold wrapper. * Caramel Keg - Half-Barrel shaped, gold wrapper. * Hazel in Caramel - Purple wrapper * Hazel Whirl - Purple wrapper with orange twists. * Strawberry Dream - Pink foil wrapped. * Tangy Orange Creme - Square shaped, wrapped in orange foil. Discontinued varieties * Praline Moment - Silver foil wrapped. * Chunky Truffle - Shaped like a chocolate brick, wrapped in blue foil. * Bournville - Small bar of Bournville Dark Chocolate. * Almond Charm - Blue foil-wrapped milk chocolate, with almond nut pieces. * Coffee Creme - Coffee flavoured, fondant cream soft centre, covered in dark chocolate. * Montelimar - Chewy nougat, encased in milk chocolate; green foil-twist wrapper. * Turkish Delight - Rectangular shaped, dark purple foil wrapped. * Orange Crisp - Orange wrapper. * Chocolate Bite - Pink wrapper. |

I'm a complete fan of Roses and enjoy the changes in selection over the years. Things change.

I got a tin as a present at Christmas.First time i'd had them for years.They've definitely gone downhill.The chocolate tastes worse and the new selection is mushy crap.Even the caramel is too soft.I thought they were maybe past their best before date,but they weren't.
I certainly wouldn't buy them over Quality Street. |

In general I prefer Quality Street to Roses but Roses have my favourite the Brazilian Darkness.

Yes and it was always those penny toffees that were the last to consume.
![]() Indeed.Fascinating but useless fact:Quality Street were Saddam Husseins fav chocs.Furthermore,his favourite from the selection was the toffee penny.You might get that question in Trivial Pursuit sometime.

He liked the military uniform guy on the outside of the tin(the drummer?).Couldn't beat a nice toffee penny when you were putting someone(feet first) through the plastic shredder.
