Blue roses?

[woody]

That's what I tried too, for quite awhile. Let us know if it works out for you.

I got really impatient trying to get blue roses to grow, so I ended up just buying a couple from someone else and breeding more from them.

I can see two options here; Either blue roses can come from pretty much any combination and are just really rare, or genetics play a huge part...

Pics or it didn't happen.

But really, I just want some clarification that blue roses can be actually spawned from something that isn't hybrid red roses.
I've been trying to get blue roses with the hybrid red roses lately.

I've had one blue rose for months, and can't remember where it came from. Finally I separated it and put it next to a red that popped up in the middle of purple roses. They spawned a black yesterday, and a blue this morning.

yes, i was thinking same. i just randomly picked red and white roses to breed black and purple roses respectively. however, i know nothing of the pedigree of those red and white roses...

Yes, its nice that when you get one, if you separate it with one other rose and water them, you get another blue rose fairly quickly. And now if you separate your two blue roses, you should have no trouble getting lots more!

Pics don't prove anything about flowers. You could stick a blue rose next to a field of orange tulips and take a pic.
I have no idea what the genetics are in the blacks that spawned it, except that they were at least third or fourth generation black roses. And also, like I said, there were some purple roses next to them, which may or may not have played a part. All I know is that I got my blue rose, and am totally thrilled!!!

I got blue roses from my black and red roses

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.

I did read the whole thing You're just the first to talk about first hand experiences (convincingly) confirming that you can get them from other hybrids. Though it's entirely possible that I read some of the posts too quickly...

That's great!!!! . I love hearing about the different ways people get their blue roses!!
So far in this thread, blue roses have spawned from :
: hybrid reds made with purple and orange
: pinks - possibly hybrid pinks
: black roses and possibly affected by purple
: and now black and red! That's great!
Did I miss any?

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.

I got a couple hybrid roses from a orange-white rose combination

Also, I'd like to point out that once you have a pair of blue roses, it's much easier to breed them to get more blue roses

 

[Feraligator]

I've been watering my purple and black roses, and I've noticed that a red rose spawns there the next day.

I've put 2 red roses together, so I will now see if I can produce any blue roses.

Blue roses and purple pansies are very rare because I don't think they exist in real life.

Edit: What do silver watering cans do?
I heard a rumour that they help flowers breed hybrids more easily, but I'm not sure about this.
Their old purpose was to revive red turnips, but since they've removed red turnips from New Leaf, what do silver watering cans do now?

 

[Momi]

Aaaaa, I've finally got my first pair of blue roses, all by myself. ;u;

My personal method was the tried-and-true hybrid reds. But it took a long time. >:

Did you make your hybrid reds with purple and orange?

Yes'm, yes'm.

I used Hybrid Red x Hybrid Red at first, until I got my first blue. Then I did Blue x Hybrid Red until I got the second. ;u;

Yayyyy!!!! Now you can make lots of blue from your pair!

That's what people say about the silver can. But I honestly can't tell if there's a difference. But whatever, the silver can's area of effect is perfect for my purposes, so I'll keep using it

And gold watering cans water even more.

Instead of house expansions I saved all my bells and bought one. I love it.
