Think we’d a similar thread for the Rose of Tralee but this one is about Cadbury’s finest.
What order would you put them in.
I think the Roses are:
Fudge
Caramel
Coffee Cream
Dairy Milk Bar
Bournville
Caramel Keg
Hazelnut in Caramel
Hazel Whirl
Strawberry Creme
I’d go:
Caramel: the absoulte best unsurpassable
Strawberry Creme: not the most popular sweet so I never take them early on. I polish them off when we’re down on fourth and fifth pick but they’re my second favourite
Caramel Keg: tasty, but a touch inadequate
Fudge: cracking texture, not a bar I’d often eat so it’s a novelty
Dairy Milk: simple, suffers from ubiquity in everyday life
Hazelnut in Caramel: I hate nuts but there’s enough non nut goodness in these purple things to keep me interested. The last one I’d actually eat.
Hazel Whirl: No interest. Don’t eat them but wouldn’t have to spit one out.
Bournville: An old favourite of Juhniallio’s neighbour who was once bombarded with Bournville by some pranksters during a barbeque. That’s all it’s good for though - shocking stuff.
Coffee Cream: Unjustifiably bad. Hate coffee. This stuff is muck.

Hazelnut in caramel is the best for me. Like the carmel one as well and the strawberry. That’s it really.
i hope your not rating them in order of talent .
if so you have brown and reni mixed up .
brown was ,by far the most useless member of the roses ansd ounded like he sang into a bucket .
Reni was the glue that kept the roses sound together.
when he fucked off,to be a furniture polisher or whatever he became,the roses sound disintegrated quite quickly.
on the other subjest my favourite roses choc is the long gold stick one,toffeee i’m assuming.
Reni was/is an amazing drummer. Pete Townshend said he was the most naturally gifeted drummer he’d seen since Keith Moon and asked Reni to play a few songs with The Who, this was in the very early days of The Roses, Reni was 20 at the time(I think). It was at a anti-drugs gig I think
townshend knew whats what from a young age.
both moonie & reni played drums like a lead instrument.
i’m a massive fan of the who,especially the earlier stuff with moonie playing like a whirlwind,before he descended into the brandy & ginger,noel coward persona.
Reni did fook all really. He formed a band around 99/00 called The Rub, but played guitar and was the singer, and played a few gigs. He played drums on one song for Brown in 99 too, I cant remember what song, some b-side I think. Thats about all I know
