The deal comes despite it being months after Christmas, when retailers often battle it out to offer the best prices on festive chocs.
Bargain hunters can bag themselves the container of cut-price Roses on the Morrisons website but not in stores.
They'll have to be quick though as the offer expires on March 16. Shoppers can only buy 20 tubs each.
Also bear in mind you'll need to spend a minimum of £25 to qualify for home delivery, which costs from £1.50.

Morrisons slashing the price of the 550g tubs of Roses makes it the cheapest place to buy them this week.
The only other place we spotted them on sale is Cadbury Gifts where they're priced at £3.58, down from £7.75.
Bear in mind, we have only checked if the major supermarket chains are selling the tub and how much for. You might find it cheaper elsewhere.

How to save money on chocolate
We all love a bit of chocolate from now and then, but you don't have to break the bank buying your favourite bar.
Consumer reporter Sam Walker reveals how to cut costs...
Go own brand - if you're not too fussed about flavour and just want to supplant your chocolate cravings, you'll save by going for the supermarket's own brand bars.
Shop around - if you've spotted your favourite variety at the supermarket, make sure you check if it's cheaper elsewhere.
Websites like Trolley.co.uk let you compare prices on products across all the major chains to see if you're getting the best deal.
Look out for yellow stickers - supermarket staff put yellow, and sometimes orange and red, stickers on to products to show they've been reduced.
They usually do this if the product is coming to the end of its best-before date or the packaging is slightly damaged.
Buy bigger bars - most of the time, but not always, chocolate is cheaper per 100g the larger the bar.
So if you've got the appetite, and you were going to buy a hefty amount of chocolate anyway, you might as well go bigger.
Cadbury also recently launched a new range of bars based on 12 common scenarios.
Shoppers can snap up the bars based on who does the cooking, books the holidays, and remembers everyone’s birthday.
The chocolatier also confirmed earlier this month that a new chocolate bar featuring pieces of caramelized Biscoff pieces was making its way onto shelves.
