Blue Roses?

[senbeiiscool]

I've seen a two of different combinations to make blue roses, which one is the correct one or do they both work?

White + Orange = Hybrid red + Hybrid red = Blue

or

Orange + Purple = Hybrid red + Hybrid red = blue


Thanks!

They all work.

Thank you! I was really confused since sometimes flower breeding is super specific haha

There seems to various combinations for flower breeding and not restricted to a specific combinations.

The hybrid red roses produced from a purple and orange rose will only produce a blue rose 1.6% of the time (1 in 64). As for the first one, I'm not entirely sure but in theory it should also work, perhaps at the same percentage.

However, there is a method of obtaining 'special' hybrid red roses that will produce a blue rose 25% of the time (1 in 4). It's quite the long process, however.

Just out of curiosity, what's the method? It must be quite the hassle if in comparison to the regular ways it's such a huge increase to the regular 1.6 :O

It'll take me a while to write up. It's like a ten step process. Though, there is a video guide.

As a head's up: one of the steps in these videos has a slight error. In "Step 3" it shows a White rose with a Seed Bag icon on it. This is not a Seed Bag rose, but the White Rose that was the product of Step 2.

Oh my, 10 steps?? No wonder it's tedious! Thanks for the link, I'll check it out!

You can go up to I believe Step 7 to produce two "special" orange roses that will have a 1 in 8 (12.5%) chance of producing a blue rose. However, it'd probably be easier to just go the extra two steps to get the 25% chance special red roses.

It's unbelievable some of the work that people do to test out these methods of breeding. Really amazing. My jaw dropped the whole time I was watching that video hahaha

As sicklewillow also said flower breeding is actually pretty complex and isn't restricted to combinations, especially for blue roses. As long as your 2 parents have genes from all three colors you'll get a blue rose. That's easier said than done though. The good news is you only need 2 blue roses as they only breed more blue.

A recent datamine helped a ton. It confirmed the community's theory that flowers have had genetics since New Leaf. They do infact have an entire genetics system in them. The method I've shown you was created with this knowledge.

You actually only need a single blue rose. In New Horizons, flowers are able to duplicate themselves if they're watered and isolated from another parent (touching flower). If you keep your single blue rose and water it in its lonesome, it'll eventually duplicate.

I'm using this method -

The purple/orange combo in this method comes after a number of previous steps that uses a 'specially bred' purple. What you're looking to get from this combo is a 'special orange'. That's the step I'm at now. I have two special oranges that I'm currently cloning. Those special oranges will breed a special hybrid red that will then get you a blue. Supposedly, this method leads to a 25% chance of a blue rose. It does take awhile (I've been working for about a month so far). But since I'm finally at the last stage, I'll hopefully be getting a blue rose soon .

be prepared to hunker down for MONTHS watering those everyday LOL mine took 4 months to get one blue rose *i did it the hard way*. once i got 2 blue roses they went crazy and were *at first* giving me one blue a day, and once i got a few of them theyre now up to giving me at least 5 a day.
