Nice job summarizing. The source of the information is a great read for anyone interested in the mechanics of hybrid breeding. On the outside, this game appears PG, but man, the physics behind it make it R-rated to the max.

There’s also another way to get blue roses from a user on reddit which they’ve confirmed works
White and white for purple
yellow and white for white*
White* and purple for purple* or purple dud that useless
Red and yellow for orange
purple* and orange for orange*
orange* and orange* for blue or red**
red** and red** for blue
Guess you’d call this the medium route?

Hm, it looks like it would work. I'll have to test this out one day, but from what I can tell from eyeing it, it may not be the medium route because the red roses that have the genetics to produce blue roses with a 25% success rate appear to be getting close to that 1 in 64 rate.
Might just be best to stick to the route on this guide, just because it seems more straightforward and less RNG dependant.
Hmm I was taking it to mean the red roses here were around a 1/4 chance at making blues. Either way it’s something I’m also going to be testing so hopefully the results come back positive.

A question regarding Windflowers; can the Blue and Pink Windflowers that are combined to make Hybrid Pink Windflowers be ones that spawn from themselves (as in a Blue from 2 Blues / a Pink from 2 Pinks), or do they have to come from the White/White (Blue) and Orange/Red (Pink) seeded versions?
I assume they should be fine to make the special pinks as long as you keep them separate (only in groups of two to avoid them cloning) I don’t see the harm in trying.
there’s no hybrid cap per day so the more groups of flowers you have the better.
Thank you SO MUCH for that second blue rose method, seriously. I've been about ready to tear my hair out over here, since there are so many different guides on color combos for hybrids and not nearly enough of those guides go into genetics, so you'll just see things like "red+red=blue" with no explanation beyond it. I've been following damn near every different guide I've come across to no avail, but I'm excited to give yours a go since your method seems sound!
Sorry for the late reply.
That I'm not sure about. I would imagine that it would possibly work? But I would imagine the safer bet would be blue windflowers from white/white and pink windflowers from red/orange.

Thanks a lot for doing this, I just put all of it down on paper, it's going to be super helpful!!!

Thanks for the response. I have a batch of 5 Pink Windflowers that have 100% been spawned by Blue/Pink, it's just I can't guarantee the source of the Blue/Pink
. I think I'll leave them for a couple of weeks to see if they produce a Purple and if they don't, I'll start from scratch 
It seems to me like these guides are still mildly inaccurate. I keep spawning pink flowers from red/yellow combos (I have TONS of pink cosmos/mums from these) and I’ve spawned black tulips/lilies and their orange counterparts.
Either way I still don’t understand how hybrids 100% work because of how wonky they are in this game compared to New Leaf.

If those flowers come from seed bags, its perhaps just very rare to get those colours. Otherwise those flowers are possibly offspring which have different genetics that allow for those colours. This guide assumes that the pair are from seed bags only, not offspring unless stated otherwise
The important thing is that there are some things we do know to be true there are hybrids that are easy to make like pinks and oranges and hybrids that are rarer like purple tulips or hyacinths then there’s the hybrids that take a fair amount of work like blue roses or purple windflowers. While some inconsistencies are to be expected without a doubt these guides have a process to obtain these rare hybrids without which would be nearly impossible for most people to figure out.
