Blue roses?

[Merelfantasy]

I've been trying forever to get blue roses. I have red roses which have originated from orange/purple roses. What's the deal, why can't I manage to get blue roses?

I'm the same. I hope when my Emporium opens tomorrow that I'll have more luck with fertiliser... It's one of the hardest ones to grow for me. (And purple tulips lol)

I never found out how to breed those. Just was lucky that a friend gave me 2

Blue roses are made with Purple and Black.

Black roses are made from 2 Red roses.
Purple roses are made from 2 White roses.

Me too, Cook1e ^^ But there's only like a 5% chance of getting blue roses from hybrid red roses. You could also attempt pink x purple or red x orange. Source here

I have all those combos set up too as I'd heard the different ways of getting blues, I have hybrid reds, purples with blacks, reds with oranges, pinks with oranges and hybrid reds near those too for good measure! No joy so far, but will keep them there. Will add pinks to the purples too now as that's new for me.

Is there any proof that this "hybrid red" even exists? I think it's made up by someone who happened to get a regular red rose from a hybrid combination and than woke up one day to find a blue rose in town.

According to the 'Hybrid Wizard' there's like a 5% chance of them spawning, slightly more with fertilizer. Someone was nice enough to let me have a pair as they were resetting.

Alright! I'll try black x purple then! Thanks a lot you guys!

I put all my purple and orange flowers in one place, and sometimes I would fine a red flower in one of the empty spaces amid the orange and purple flowers. I then transfer them to another empty spot in a cross pattern. So far I got 3 blue roses spawning in that hybrid red patch, and none from the bed of normal red roses. I would say hybrid red roses do exist, from my experience.

my blue roses are breeding like wildfire. I get at least 3 or 4 daily if i water my patch. {if you're having trouble you can buy 2 from another user and breed using those.

I noticed that hybrid red roses can produce purple roses, orange roses, pink roses, and black roses, so at least while waiting for blue roses, you might get some other rose hybrids along the way. And I don't think that regular red roses could produce all those different kinds of rose hybrids, so it's probably a sign you're doing something right if you're getting those variety of rose hybrids from your hybrid red roses patch. Just keep watering the patch everyday and use fertilizer if you have access to it. And if you keep a purple+orange roses patch as well, you can also keep growing hybrid red roses and add more and more to your hybrid red roses patch.

here is confirmation that there is only one type of red rose in new leaf. since blue roses are just really rare, i guess a lot of people assumed you had to breed offspring red roses only to make blue roses. but this is false, they're just THAT rare.

also, bidoof crossing has quite a few errors on his blog. he says orange and yellow roses make only orange, but mine spawned a yellow rose when i bred them. his blog also says you can plant bamboo next to bamboo like bushes, but this isn't the case..

Thank you for that link to clear up the situation concerning the supposed "hybrid" red rose.

Oh that's really interesting. It isn't just Bidoof Crossing that had the information about "hybrid red roses", but also Thonky and other online guides, plus widespread word-of-mouth on forums and such. I'm left feeling a little bewildered and misled. xP But thank you!

I don't mean to go off-topic, but many pokemon red/blue/yellow players probably remember that myth about the mysterious car at the dock of the S.S. Anna, which was rumoured to contain Mew. It ended up being nothing (although Mew could be caught somewhere else due to a glitch).

When something is so difficult to obtain many will believe anything that they are told. The same can be said about these "hybrid" red roses. If they were real why wouldn't they have been mentioned in the official game guide?

There have been comparable myths in the AC games too, like a rumor that you could somehow get a pet dog in AC:WW. But the widespread information about hybrid red roses in (typically reliable) online guides like Thonky seemed believable to me, unlike silly myths like that. I don't have any physical game guides so I tend to rely on online ones like these. And the physical ones have been known to have errors too.

I can still vouch with certainty that my so-called "hybrid red roses patch" (red roses spawned from orange+purple) produced purple, orange, pink, and black roses. Can regular red roses really spawn all those different colors?? If so, I guess it's a really great flower to have for breeding purposes...

Well red's are used in most of the rose hybrids so in theory it could spawn because they have the red genes. Or it might have been a new flower that just so happened to bloom in a hybrid-breeding field. Only someone who bred 100 blue roses from non-blue roses would know I guess.

Blue roses are made with Purple and Black.

Black roses are made from 2 Red roses.
Purple roses are made from 2 White roses.

Did you actually make some yourself that way?
Or are you quoting another source?
Because there are so many different instructions out there, but I have never been able to talk to anyone who was successful themselves without getting some somewhere else first.
So I'm hoping that actually worked for you, and then I'll try it. I've tried following so many different instructions.

Thanks you, thank you, thank you! Finally someone who actually spawned their own blue roses!!!!

I'd just like to mention that I got my first blue rose today. It spawned from two pink roses! I have a separate beach where I only breed pink roses, so there is no way there were any other kinds in the loop.
