For all you Blue-Rose breeders, how long did it take you to get your first one?

[Debeers]

...I'll let you know. This is the method I've been using:

White + White = Purple
Purple + Red = Hybrid Red 1
Hybrid Red 1 + Yellow = Hybrid Red 2
Hybrid Red 2 + Hybrid Red 2 = Blue Rose (1.56% chance)
(directly copy and pasted from someone else's post on here, I have it saved on a word doc I use to save notes to myself, lol)

And I currently have two flowerbeds- one with hybrid 1s and yellows, and the other is solid hybrid 2s. But no luck so far. I think I've gotten just about every other rose color outta them, though, lol.

But I REALLY want blue roses for outside Julia's house! She deserves them

I think in your step 2, it should be special pink instead of special red to be produced and used in step 3? Anyone can verify?

I used this 4-step method because each step it produces different color offsprings except the last step, so I will not confuse them with a clone.

I have been playing since the end of May since I got the switch lite and game for my birthday and I just got my first blue rose on August 8.

I originally was using this post for reference, but saw a comment in a thread in the airport that involved breeding a purple and orange rose to get either a black rose or red hybrid. The red hybrids I got through this method ended up giving me my first blue rose (and one more later).

A couple weeks altogether. I got my first blue rose the first day I bred my final stage hybrid reds (of course it helped that I had over 250 in a breeding pattern)— actually got two the first day, and then just cloned from there. Having five visiting waterers is the key to speeding it up

I am not sure but here is the link:

maybe you can try to save the pink roses and breed them with yellow seeds just in case?

 

[saucySheep]

uh... i got one *on accident* by planting to orange roses together and they bred into blue

i'm willing to sell any blue roses bc i bought a bunch so like if you need any just ring me up bro

I don't have any of those pink ones saved, though, and I'd have to go back and gather up all the roses I have scattered around to breed more

Has anyone had success with the method I mentioned?

Thank you! For now, I’m just going to try to get them myself since I’ve never done it myself

righty then. i get it, i wish i could say i bred one by myself before buying some lol. i did breed a purple pansy by myself once tho (on accident, of course) but yeh i also still have green mums to somehow make

Nice! So far I’ve managed to breed all my flowers on my own. This hybrid is last one I need to get on my own.

Hope you don't mind me stepping in! In that step, both Red and Pink will work as long as you're using clone resistant layouts. The only reason why that step insists on using Pinks is precisely because that specific pathway produces different color offspring at each step. Otherwise, you're breeding two Red Roses to get another Red Rose, which some people may find confusing or may mess up in regards to cloning.

The first main goal of Blue Rose breeding is to get a Red with the genes 1110 (each 1 represents a red, yellow, and white gene). You'll notice that the difference between that Red (1010) and that Pink (1011) is the very last gene. A Blue Rose has the genes 2220; you'll notice that it doesn't even require the last gene (it has a 0 instead of 1). Breeding Pink (1011) with Yellow (0200) gives you Red (1110), which actually drops the last gene. Breeding Red (1010) with Yellow (0200) also gives you Red (1110). For both, as long as you don't accidentally clone, the only Reds that are produced are the 1110 variety, so there's no chance of getting a wrong Red. You can use the Garden Simulator here to check my work if you're still not confident.

As long as you've been working with clone resistant layouts and have been careful about not using the wrong Reds/the wrong flowers in general, you're fine. If you have literally been getting all other colors as offspring, that's actually a good sign. That means that your Reds have all 3 of the required genes. It sounds like you have at least some of the correct Reds, if not all.

It took me 67 days from planting rose bags to getting it, and I had no visitors watering flower. That said, I planted a lot of rose bags - over 132 of them to start, and a few more as time went on.

I suppose I used the 'Folklore' method to get it, but with a lot of steps streamlined to make things slightly easier to manage. Another thing is I made sure to block the sides of certain pairs to make sure I don't get clones. For instance, For a white + yellow = hybrid white step, I blocked the white side of the pairs so that a hybrid white will spawn on the yellow side instead of a white clone.

I'll... take your word that the different flowers bred is a good sign, since the rest of what you're saying makes NO sense to me

Ugh, I may just buy the stupid roses. This is way too much work and way too complicated...

 

[faerie]

It took me about three months with no one watering except for myself.

 

[Sheydra]

About 5 days but had my hubby helping me.

Just seems the odds of getting a blue are the same if you go with the conventional method of W+W for P; R + Y for O; O + P for HR; HR + HR for B. But I do see your point of the color sorting benefits in the graphic.

 

[Khaelis]

Hmmm, I chose to water them myself only... but I believe it took me about two and a half weeks before I got my first one. Now I have a few dozen.

Oh, I'm sorry that didn't make any sense! What is confusing you? I mean, besides everything. I know it's a lot of numbers and words. :'D But I can try and explain it better if you want. I totally understand if you're tired of it though. If you're getting really frustrated, it might be better to just buy them.

Hm... Maybe it's simpler to go step by step. Like...

1. On steps 2 (Purple x Red) and 3 (Hybrid Red 1 x Yellow), what breeding layouts did you use? If you used something like Isolated Pairs or Diamond, that's good. If you used something like Xs or Checkerboards, that's not good.

2. If you used a good layout, are you 100% sure that you kept all your different Reds separated from each other? There should be 3 different types (ignoring any Reds you get from step 4). Are you also 100% sure that you removed all incorrect offspring and didn't add them to the same breeding plot? If so, you're probably fine. All your Hybrid 2s are probably correct.

3. If you used a bad layout at either step 2 or 3, there's a chance that you have some wrong Reds. Did you make use of the visitor watering mechanic at either of those steps? If it's only been you watering, there's a lesser chance of having duds, and you're probably fine. If you've had a lot of visitors watering, you might have a lot of duds, and that's a problem.

I didn't run through every scenario, but if you are literally getting every other color of Rose in step 4 (like literally, not just hyperbolically), I believe you likely have at least some correct Hybrid 2s. The question is whether or not there's any duds in the mix.

I can already tell you that this image is slightly inefficient.

You want to use the 1010 Red Rose and pair it with a 0200 Yellow-Seed Rose as it produces a 1110 Red Rose at a 25% rate compared to 12.5% when done with a 1011 Pink Rose.

The more efficient way (which is the one you quoted to suggest your method):

1. 0010 White-Seed + 0010 White-Seed = 0020 Purple (25%)
2. 0020 Purple-Rose + 2001 Red-Seed = 1010 Red-Hybrid (50%)
3. 1010 Red-Hybrid + 0200 Yellow-Seed = 1110 Red-Hybrid (25%)
4. 1110 Red-Hybrid + 1110 Red-Hybrid = 2220 Blue-Rose (1.56%)
