Blue roses?

Good luck 
I find that it gets easier as you get more blue roses, somehow the chance of a second blue rose popping up increases when you include your first blue ros? into the breeding formation.
Oh and, to avoid villagers from planting random flowers on your breeding patch, you could plant them on the beach. They don't plant anything there at all hahah.

Yes, thats great. Thats where I've been planting them.
I know I could just buy a couple and grow from them, but I really want to spawn my own this time. This is my second town, in my first I gave up and grew them from one I was given.
But it would be soooooooo nice this time to get them to grow from scratch.

Actually they can plant flowers on the beach. It doesn't happen often, though. And I think they only do it if there are other flowers growing there. I've seen it happen, but only once. Dizzy did that thinking emote and plopped down a flower, so for once I'm absolutely certain about something
About the blue roses... I'm not totally convinced that they can spawn from regular red roses, but it might not need to be red roses. Maybe they can spawn from any hybrid with the appropriate ancestry (the pink+pink example earlier)? Maybe also normal red roses, but I need more convincing before I believe anything. Even employees of Nintendo can be wrong about a Nintendo game, so I'm not taking it as gospel.

Makes sense, I think a great deal of my pink roses has a purple parent.
The fact that grandfather genes are a mechanic in NL flower breeding makes the whole thing more complicated.
I read this whole thread but was unable to determine whether any conclusion was drawn about breeding blue roses.
Has anyone tried the purple and black combination?

Just because someone works for nintendo doesn't mean they know all about the game, lol.
I know I get a ton more hybrids from the so-called nonexistent red hybrids than I do from normal reds.
I agree with your theory about different hybrids with the right ancestry, that would explain why people seem to get blues from such a wide variety of hhbrids.
I also kind of think some towns are just more predisposed to getting certain hybrids.
In my first town it took forever to get some of them, like the orange rose, and in my second town they popped up right away.

I can see your point about that; unless this response came from someone who worked on the hybrid configurations for AC:NL, we might should take what they said with a grain of salt. From the wording of their email response, it sounded like this person didn't know the answer and had to consult someone else (and who knows who they consulted??).
Yeah, in the beginning of the game I had lots of regular red roses (from the island tours) grouped together and I watered them everyday. I only got red, pink, and black roses from them. Then later on, once I started up a "hybrid red roses" patch (spawned from purple+orange roses), I started getting purple roses and orange roses (from the grandparents' genes I guess) in addition to pink roses and black roses.
Anyway, I have heard multiple success stories of breeding blue roses from 'hybrid red roses' and I don't think these people are lying, so I think this is as good a way as any to try to get blue roses. In addition to the account from Puffifish in this thread, there were a few accounts written way back in this thread.
I don't know what to think about BlackxPurple. It's in the official guide, apparently, but I haven't personally heard any successful stories about people growing blue roses from that combination in AC:NL. BlackxPurple was the combination that grew blue roses in past games, so it would be an easy error to make in a guide. I don't know, though, maybe BlackxPurple works!

Well, we pretty much know for a fact that genes matter, right? If not, we wouldn't get different results from hybrids and basic flowers - which we do. Knowing that, we should definitely disregard the "official nintendo mail", because while it's not "different items" per se, hybrids give us different results.
Okay, after I gave up and quit trying, I finally grew blue roses in my town! They grew from a patch of black roses that I kept watering. There were a couple of purple roses on the far side of the patch, so that could have had some impact, but I wasn't watering the purple ones at all, only the black ones. Blue Roses!!!! . Yayyyyy!!!!

Btw, I had been trying the black and purple combination for ages without results. It was only after I quit watering the purple ones and only watered the black ones for about a week and a half that I got the blue rose. I put it away from the others with one black rose on either side, and two days later had another blue rose.

Well, now I kind of regret use the red hybrid rose method.
Thanks for posting, lea

No, the whole thing is, if you read the thread, people have gotten blue roses from different combinations. Some have gotten them from hybrid reds, some from pinks, etc. And now from black and possibly purple. So there is more than one way to get them.
