Lovemat 12 PCS Real Touch Latex PU Roses Artificial Flowers for Wedding Home Decor (red)

Previously purchased Idealgo latex roses from another seller, but my vase looks empty with only ten roses. When I went to get a second set, they were unavailable, so I purchased these to fill out the bouquet. These roses from Lovemat are supposed to be the same as the Idealgo and except for the quality, they are - same flower size, same length, and if they were fully latex, they would have been a perfect match. The problem is that only half the petals have latex on them and the other half are fabric. The Idealgo roses look and feel real, the Lovemat look and feel cheap. Terrible quality. I'll just have to wait until the others are back in stock - or buy a smaller vase.

This was my second try at finding beautiful, real looking roses for Valentine's Day. And these are an absolute winner!!! I couldn't be more pleased!! The first ones I returned. They were a single bunch made in China that had a definite chemical smell. Besides, the stems were very thin and not at all like the real thing. These Lovemat roses are individually wrapped. The stems are very realistic looking. The 12 roses arrived in a 3 x 3 inch box and I had serious doubts that they would be nice. Boy, was I wrong! They were each squished in a clear cellophane wrap, but after removing the wraps and spreading out the petals, they are absolutely beautiful. The petals are velvety just like real roses. These roses are a guaranteed winner!

They were a beautiful red color, have lasted me about 2 years, no fading, they feel very realistic.

I have never spent so much time and effort trying to make artificial flowers look decent. What a joke these things are! As just about all the other reviews say - they come stuffed so tightly into a tiny box with each flower head wrapped in plastic. But it looks like they have a competition going on to see who can crush these flowers the most. I tried fluffing them up with a hot hair dryer. That improved the blossoms slightly, but they still looked like crushed flowers. Then I dipped them in boiling water for a few seconds. That did the most improvement, BUT the red die also bleeds out of the flowers which ended up permanently staining my white fiberglass sink. And the flowers STILL look like crap!

Plan to spend hours creating roses outta these squished blobs. EXTREMELY MISSHAPENPhoto one shows how the squished red blob as I got them.Photo two shows a rose AFTER I spent 30 minutes reshaping one of them with a high heat blow dryer.I don't have the time to do all 12 yet so they still sit squished in their box waiting for me to create roses out of them.
