I'm trying to work on it and I'm getting a lot of mixed signals from the internet. Has anyone here actually bred them without getting them from another person first? And if so, how did you do it?
I actually got a blue rose as a gift when I allowed people to sell turnips in my town.. but kept it in my house as decoration while I was trying to create a blue rose.
I first created a purple rose from breeding white roses, and bred that with 4 red roses in an "X" formation, such that if there was a red rose spawned outside of that formation, I would know that it would be a hybrid red rose. KEEP TRACK OF ALL YOUR HYBRID ROSES. >:X
I then bred the hybrid red roses with its own kind and orange roses until I got a blue rose. Then I bred blue roses together for more. ^^
It took months, but I finally did, using pretty much the same method as above- I used a golden shovel to bury fertilizer by the hybrid red roses too :3
I did breed 2 blue roses many moons ago and I was very pleased with myself, it actually took me over a month to get my first and a lot quicker to get my second.
I bred my first blue roses kind of by chance. I just brought a bunch of red roses to my beach, assuming there were at least a few hybrid reds between them.. And after a few weeks a blue rose popped up. Then a few days later another one. I didn't use fertilizer or anything. So if you're still trying to get them yourself, my suggestion would be to place a few hybrid red roses together and obviously water them everyday.
I have dozens of blue roses I grew myself by following this method. To begin you will need hybrid/special red roses. These are created by crossing orange and purple roses. Once the red hybrid roses show up use these to grow blue roses. When you have a pair of blue roses use these to grow more. Your success rate is higher when you use the color and type of flower you want from the actual breeding pairs.
I didn't use fertilizer just watered them everyday with gold watering can. I didn't think I would ever be able to grow these darn thing but I kept at it until I succeeded.
I'm currently in the process of breeding them! I am currently trying to get purple roses, hopefully they will show up in a couple of days. Then I'll be growing orange roses and after that I will try to get hybrid red roses by crossing the orange and purple roses. When I have those I can finally breed blue roses by crossing the hybrid reds... Wish me luck!
I breed blue roses before. But people who are trying there are wii hard to breed. It took me a whole 5 hours of just time traveling and watering plants to get two. But once you have 2, breed them till you have like 10 so you have backups. I recommend just buying them from here
I never got one randomly like that, I've tried for months but I just never seemed to get any. I ended up getting tons of each hybrid rose, but never any blues. So, as a last resort, I bought two of them from on here and now I have well over a hundred in my town.
Yes, I did. It took about three weeks like the other member said and I also used the same method. It too patience, patience, patience but was SO worth it when I found the first one,

http://www.thonky.com/animal-crossing-new-leaf/flowers-hybrids. This is the format I followed. The most important thing is harvesting the red hybrids and isolating them while you water them daily. I used the fence method. Two red hybrids, watered daily, pick the extras and continue this for about three weeks. I guarantee you, it will work! Just be patient and follow the directions
