Cadbury Roses
Cadbury Roses are a selection of machine wrapped chocolates made by Cadbury.

It notes they were named after the favourite flowers of Dorothy Cadbury, a director of the company and renowned botanist, which grew in the gardens of the original factory at Bournville. Upon launch in Ireland they were called 'Cadbury's Irish Rose'; however, this name was discontinued in the 1970s.
