ACNH Guide On Hybrids

The turtle breeding pattern is a game changer for me. Woke up to soo many more buds than with the old checkerboard approach!
 
I got my first blue rose! It took a long time but so fun to have one that I bred using this guide. The only flower I still haven't bred yet is a purple tulip. I wasn't working on them though and by mostly ignoring them I managed to get all the other colors. I am sure it won't take long to get a purple tulip.
 
Been a while... not really much to add to the guide, since I got pretty much everything important covered, but I figure I'd give this thread a bump.
 
Finally, a hybrid guide that is well organized and highly informative. thank you for this! Bumppp
 
Woooooooooo!!!!!!! Mission accomplished! 🌹 🌹 🌹 🌹 🌹

I'm sure I'll look back on this day in a few months and say "My island is overrun with these. Why did I put so much blood, sweat, tears, watering cans, and shovels into breeding this?"

Congrats! I've got a ton of hybrid red roses (about 20) myself, only a matter of time before my first blue rose pops up as well.
 
I've been working on the blue rose for many game days... probably about 4 weeks (some normal time, some time traveled). I have like 37 purple roses breeding to seed yellows in pairs all over my island... NONE have ever given a yellow rose... I feel like it's never going to happen lol. I've had the special oranges and special whites from the first step ready to go for ages!

Are the purple roses you're testing offspring from a regular purple rose (white + white) and the special white rose (white + yellow)? You're supposed to cross a regular purple rose with the special white rose to get a purple rose offspring and then test that purple rose with a yellow rose. If you're just crossing regular purple roses with seed yellow roses, you'll never end up with a yellow offspring.

OMG I'm so dumb. I swear I thought it said to test the first purples. I wish I had posted here a week ago! Off to breed all these purples to special whites....
 
Regarding Blue Rose method 2... I'm confused about the earliest part of it...

It says for step 1 to obtain all product and keep them safe for future use - what does that mean exactly? Then beside that, it lists flower 1 as red, yellow, and white and flower 2 as white, yellow, and white.

This is probably a really dumb question, but is the product listed horizontal across from the types listed? Thus...white + white is purple, red + yellow = orange, yellow + white = white

I would assume that it is, but I just wanted to make sure. I have every flower but the blue rose, and method 1 isn't doing it, so...I'd really like to get serious about it :LOL:

Yes, white plus white for purple, etc.

In the next step, the purples and the white hybrids from step 1 get used. The orange from step one is saved for many steps later. Don't do what I did and start testing the purples from step 1! I now have a few good ones from step 2 to go on. :)

Keeping the product safe for future use means make sure the flowers you are using are actually from seed bags. If you just pull some random yellow or white rose that you have planted somewhere and use it for step 1 of method 2, you can very easily mess things up and never get a blue rose.

The product column is the desired result from the two flowers in the cells to its left. Pay very close attention to the parenthesis as the method has 3 different types of white roses, 2 different types of purple roses, 2 different types of orange roses, and 2 different types of red roses, and if you use the wrong type of rose in any of the steps, then you'll be wasting a lot of time as the person above can attest.
 
Ah.. been a while since I've done anything with this guide. While I didn't really add much, if anything at all, I did tweak a few things to make it a little nicer on the eyes.

Edit: I am not making any promises, but I may make a huge revision of this guide and replace the box charts with images. Again, not making promises. It'd be a lot of work and I don't have a ton of time as of late, we'll just have to see.
 
I owe 100% of my flower breeding success to this thread and shared out the first post to many non-board members as it is the simplest and best guide on the internet!

Lol, thank you. Though, I take very little credit in the end. All I did was take various true information scattered across online via dataminers, etc and wrote it out in word form on a public community forum for people to stumble upon. :b
 
Did the visitors watering flowers rate get nerfed? I had four visitors water exactly 90 flowers yesterday. That should give a 60% return. Today I had ZERO new flowers. I even manually went through and counted to make sure there wasn’t even one new flower. That... is not statistically possible.

Far as I know, it shouldn't have?
 
I hate to use the g word but this has to be a glitch. I’m pretty disheartened considering I spent hours trying to even get waterers yesterday and it was for literally nothing
