    A girl at Work refers to Cadburys roses as "Irish roses".

    Many people do likewise.

    Were these chocolates ever produced as "Irish Roses"?

    We call them that too, Actually only recently I figured out that it doesn't even mention 'irish' on the box! So yes, that now makes me curious as well!

    Think so.

    I call lots of things by their retro name - marathon bars, telecom éireann, the wireless, etc

    i think they were called irish roses back in the day,they were relaunched as
    roses in the late 70's early 80's.I'd imagine the name change was good for business in the wake of Ira bombings in England in that period.

    Cadbury had one of their major factories in Ireland, Rathmore, Co. Kerry to be exact.
    and always boasted that they used Irish milk for thei chocolate products.
    I guess that is where it came from
