Cadbury Roses facts for kids
Cadbury Roses are yummy chocolates made by Cadbury. They first came out in the UK in 1938. They were made to compete with another popular chocolate box called Quality Street.
The chocolates were named after a company called "Rose Brothers." This company made the special machines that wrapped the chocolates. These machines were in a town called Gainsborough in England.
But there's another story about the name! In 2020, Cadbury said that the chocolates might have been named after Dorothy Adlington Cadbury. She was a director at the company and loved plants. Her favorite flowers, roses, grew in the gardens of the first factory in Bournville. When they first launched in Ireland, they were called 'Cadbury's Irish Rose', but this name stopped being used in the 1970s.
Cadbury Roses are a very common gift, especially on Mothering Sunday and during the Christmas holidays. You can find them in plastic tubs, boxes, and special tins around Christmas. In the UK, Isle of Man, and Ireland, there are currently 9 different kinds of chocolate in a box. A poll showed that Cadbury Roses are the 6th most famous sweet treat in the UK.
