I have FINALLY managed to get a blue rose, after months of trying(and a year long hiatus)! When I saw that beautiful, beautiful blue among my roses this morning, I got so excited I thought I was gonna cry from joy. XD So happy~ Now I just need to produce a second! XD

Update: I have grown a second one! ♥

Congrats!! I'm trying to get one as well. What was your setup? :)
 
Aw congrats on the blue rose! I'm not planning to attempt to make any myself, but I appreciate the fact that you've attempted to make one and done it succesfully too. I can see what a huge achievement that is since they're so hard to make.

I'm doing it down on the beach, so my villagers don't plant their own flowers down there.

R = Hybrid Red Rose
O= Orange Rose
J = Jacob's Ladder
F = Fertilizer
X = Empty space

O X O
J R J
R F R
J R J
R X R
X O X

I found the blue rose between three reds and an orange, if that helps. I also now have the blue right beside a red and orange, hoping that it helps produce a second blue!

A pic to help.

Thanks~ Yeah, they're difficult. XD I can't tell you how many times I almost said "screw it" and bought some from a player on here.

Yay! I didn't do online trade until a short while. It took 2 days for my first and months for my second.

Thank you!!! That helps! Is the jacob's ladder important? I've never seen anyone use those!

I read somewhere that it helps the rate of hybrid flowers growing. I figured it wouldn't hurt at least, so thought why not? I don't know if it helped, but I do know that a couple days after adding them I got the blue rose. But might also be a coincidence.

I'm hoping it doesn't take too long for a second... XD
 
Congrats! If you need a second, I'd be happy to give you one. Just shoot me a pm if you want. :)
 
Oh congrats!!! Good on you for keeping at it - it's so rewarding to have bred it yourself!
If you ever need any more blue roses, I'd also be happy to give you some :)
 
Congrats!! It's so rewarding to be able to grow one on your own instead of buying one, I still have the first blue rose I ever grew in my house. :) good luck growing more!!
 
Congrats!

I've never had one either...I tend to just like tulips in my towns. I try to keep all the flowers...but ultimately I end up tossing out all but the tulips. xD

I think it's because of my memories of a Tulip Festival my grandmother took me to in Iowa when I was little. :)
 
Finally, someone who actually puts some effort into breeding blue roses. Keep it up!

I'm not being sarcastic, by the way.

I bred my first blue roses from separate breeding pairs.

Congrats! I heard how hard it is to breed them! I think I might try it, too one day!
 
Nice going..I know how hard it is to grow those things.I was lucky enough to be given a couple in exchange for a villager(coincidentally,the villager was Jeremiah the blue frog)without even expecting to be given anything in return.I didn't know how rare blue roses were at the time.
 
Well congrats! I did that method and it worked. I got a dozen of blue flowers in my beach rn. :33
 
Well done! :D They can be so hard to get sometimes :) But you're right, they are such a beautiful colour :D
