Selling floral gifts at scale can be tricky. Fresh flowers are fragile, costly to store, and hard to control across seasons. And while rose bears have been popular, many B2B buyers still need fresh ideas that are giftable, easy to ship, and consistent in quality. Foam rose hearts fall into that category.


A foam rose heart is a heart-shaped decorative gift made from hundreds of soft, realistic-looking foam roses.It is crafted using the same foam material as rose bears, offering a similar texture and long-lasting structure.Foam rose hearts are widely used in gift programs for Valentine’s Day, Mother's Day, anniversaries, and retail displays.


This product solves the common headaches of traditional floral inventory. It doesn’t wilt. It looks great in-store. And it turns quickly. That’s why foam rose hearts have become a fast favorite for supermarkets, gift shops, e-commerce, and event planners alike.

How to Make a Foam Rose Heart?


The process of creating a foam rose heart is remarkably similar to crafting a rose bear—because it’s made with the same material: EVA or PE foam roses.


Here’s what the production flow looks like:


  1. Rose Selection: The process starts with thousands of pre-made foam roses, available in a wide range of colors. These are cut and shaped to look like real rose petals.


  2. Molded Base: A heart-shaped mold made from lightweight styrofoam or plastic forms the structure. This shape determines the final silhouette.


  3. Manual Application: Skilled workers glue each rose individually onto the mold. This step requires precision to ensure even distribution and an aesthetically pleasing texture.


  4. Detailing: Some designs add small accessories like ribbons, gift boxes, lights, or personalized tags.


  5. Packaging: Foam rose hearts are carefully packed in clear boxes or windowed cartons—ready for shelf display or gifting.


Because the entire process is semi-handcrafted and streamlined for bulk production, the consistency of each piece is high—even in large volume orders.

These products stand out on shelves. Their 3D floral texture and heart shape immediately grab attention and perform exceptionally well in promotional displays and seasonal retail events.

How Long Do Foam Roses Last?


Foam roses don’t have an expiration date.


If stored in a dry, cool place, a foam rose heart can maintain its appearance for years. The EVA or PE material is resistant to fading, deformation, and moisture (to some degree), making them very practical for long-term display.


Tips to Care for Foam Rose Products:


  • Avoid direct sunlight: Long-term exposure may cause slight fading.

  • Keep away from water: Foam is not meant to get wet.

  • Dust gently: Use a dry, soft brush or air blower to clean.

  • Store in the box when not displayed: Helps preserve color and prevents dust buildup.


Thanks to these easy care requirements, foam rose hearts are ideal for customers who want a long-lasting gift without any maintenance.
