I was skeptical at first—how realistic could foam roses really be? But the moment I unboxed these Floroom ivory roses, I gasped. The delicate pebbled texture, the subtle off-white hue, and the way the petals naturally curled made them indistinguishable from fresh garden roses at arm’s length.

For my sister’s bridal shower, I bent the wired stems effortlessly to craft a cascading centerpiece. The stems held their shape even after I rearranged them 10 times (perfectionist problems!). Pro tip: Slide the included leaves halfway up the stems for a lush, organic look—just like I did in the photo with my vintage milk glass vase.

What shocked me most? During cleanup, a guest actually tried to ‘water’ my arrangement! The PE foam material has this velvety density that mimics real petals—no weird plasticky squeak when touched. Six months later in my bedroom vase, they still haven’t collected dust like cheaper faux flowers do.

Warning: You’ll become addicted. I’ve since bought the sage green set for fall wreaths and dipped the gold ones in glitter for holiday ornaments. At this price point, I’m convinced these are the holy grail for anyone who loves flowers but hates maintenance.
