Either give every flower species same amount of cool hybrids or make roses avaliavable for everyone trhough mystery islands or something.

There's another thing you can do to improve your odds: If you have 5 other players visit your island and water your flowers, they'll get a big golden sparkle that greatly improves your chances at producing hybrids.

[@MM-qy1tl]

Yes, you do get a benefit from having others water your flowers. But the benefit you get is increased chance of the flowers *breeding*, not producing a hybrid. The percentage of getting of producing a desired flower is always going to come after the game has decided the flower will produce a flower in the first place.

[@Bluhbear]

@@MM-qy1tl Ah. I had heard different, though not from infallible sources. Well, increasing the breeding rate will still lead to faster hybrid production, at least.

You need to be careful at the TEST stage for checking the purples, because the yellow flower can reproduce itself without crossbreeding with the purple. A simple trick would be to put path or fences around the yellow flower and leave a space for the purple flower.

[@NickLoganbill]

I don't think this is true. A flower can only clone itself if there are no eligible mates nearby. That purple flower (assuming you're not putting it next to other roses) will always be the eligible mate.

[@blackshiro3354]

@@NickLoganbill After some research I think you may be right but I haven't found 100% proof that it will always choose the eligible mate or itself.. There is a lot of speculation RN due to the lack of data mining, so being extra careful may save a few hours in this case :)

[@nubbyboah]

The good thing about getting a blue rose is that it's very easy to mass produce them after the fact because all blue Roses have the same exact genome sequence (RRYYwwss) so just watering them or putting them together will pretty much guarantee another blue rose will spawn. So whatever method you chose you will not have to worry when it comes to getting more after, the space you made for producing one could be repurposed for just mass producing them.

I used this method, and I got my first blue rose today after 32 days! I watered them with my boyfriend's account every day, and I asked a couple friends to water if they came over for DIYs or NPCs. I only got more than the one friend watering once or twice a week, but it really helped! If you've got AC friends, make a bunch of watering cans and invite them over when you've got something cool going on. It is a lot of work (I did not use a grid for each step, and I was constantly rearranging my flowers as more grew), but it is definitely worth it. I had a batch of 1/64 hybrid red roses together for about a month beforehand and partially during this project, and I was frustrated waiting for luck to strike.

This process absolutely works. I've been trying for almost 3 months with no time travelling and no friends helping to water. Got my first blue rose yesterday. If you have the space, I recommend doing this on an industrial scale to maximize the number of crosses per day. For example, in step 1, I had 40 seeded white roses trying to make purples. At the same time, I had 30 seeded reds working to make black. The testing of the purples in step 3.5 to get the right ones is very time consuming, even if you have a lot. Getting a "special white" took a while. Once I got one, I set it aside for cloning instead of putting it into production right away. That sped things up a bit.

followed your video and it finally worked after 1.5 to 2 months. Thank you for such a thorough explanation. I was probably 25% of your views in the past 2 months :D thanks again! I am so happy that i was able to breed it myself instead of just getting blue roses from another person's island. Thanks again!

[@warmCabin]

Lemme repost my comment from the old upload: If you do it the old-school way (orange + purple), you _can_ distinguish between the reds produced. We'll call them hybrid reds and janky reds. Do a test breed with a seed red. 25% of the time, hybrid reds will produce orange or yellow. Janky reds will never produce those colors. But of course, if you do this, you won't have the special whites to increase your odds!

[@cinnamonsparrowdesigns]

I currently have oranges and purples together so thanks for this method to test! I'm hoping so skip some steps lol

[@Cheesecakebro]

Will the hybrid reds produced from the old way have the 25% chance for blue roses? Are the janky reds the reason the odds are so low?

[@warmCabin]

@@Cheesecakebro Two hybrid reds have a 1 in 64 chance of producing a blue rose. If either parent was janky, there is a *0%* chance of producing a blue rose.

[@Cheesecakebro]

@@warmCabin ah I see, thanks for clarifying!

I will be sure to try this! My first pruple rose sprouted today. I already had a bunch of orange ones.

After a year of trying other methods and failing to get blue roses, i spent a few days on this method (with lots of time-traveling) and it worked!! Thank you so much for this video.

Good news! My orange roses made a blue one!

Mystery island oranges bread together will all have the same genetics since they are all the same. If you mixed them with your island made oranges then its alot harder. But congrats on the blue

[@ninjahotdog9036]

BishieQueen Thanks

[@jannis4387]

@@BishieQueen That's not true. They can produce 4 different types of orange since not all alleles are homozygous (both dominant or both recessive) in contrast to blue ones.

This does work finally got my blue roses! it might seem like a lot to do but just follow this guide step by step and you will be fine. It did take me longer than 90 in game days, it took me forever to spawn a hybrid orange roses, almost gave up thinking I had done something wrong. Thanks for putting together this clear guide.

[@shilohhale4514]

If I can add one thing about watering the black and white roses (which should spawn red roses)... It's worth mentioning that it's best NOT to water those with the golden watering can because it seems to occasionally spawn the golden roses too. While I recognize this may not necessarily be a bad thing, it is certainly a disappointment when you're REALLY hoping for those red ones in trying to get the blue roses. :) Thank you for the great video! :)

[@TheNellehFox]

Love this! Could you maybe do a guide for Green mums too? IRL these flowers are nicknamed Shamrock in the Florist Trade!

[@Merz0r]

Mums aren't nearly as complicated as Roses. You'll want to start breeding a Seed Red and a Seed Yellow. These will make a "Hybrid Yellow" 100% of the time. 2 Hybrid Yellows can make Greens 6.25% of the time. 2 Hybrid Yellows can also make a "Special Purple" 25% of the time. 2 Special Purples can make a Green 25% of the time. Hope that isn't too complex. And good luck if you decide to try it. :) I've gotten some Green Mums myself, but I think I just got lucky as I didn't know about those steps at the time.

[@theriasthingschristinerosa5663]

Wow thanks for this visual hybrid flowers guide to roses in Animal Crossing new horizons. I've been playing animal crossing games for years since the game cube and figured that even since then there was some type of science of genetics behind flower hybrid breeding. I've been trying to explain this the best I could in words to people and have even wanted to do my own video on it once I had gotten my own switch to visually explain this especially for roses but you beat me to it. And I'm glad you did. I might still do so with my own spin as well as show my own town but I'm so glad there are other people out there who love the challenge of this part of animal crossing just as much as I do. This video was just great so keep them coming. And as I like to tell everyone who is excited or loves things all flower related towards animal crossing games is happy planting!!!

[@jampk24]

I just did this to get my blue rose. It's worth noting for people who plan to do this that some of the flowers you get along the way can help speed up the process a bit. When you breed the special white + the first hybrid red, you sometimes get a purple. This purple is the same one you breed with itself to make special whites in step 4. So you can add that to your purples to help produce more special whites. Additionally, when you breed the special white + the orange, you sometimes get an orange. This is identical to the orange that you're currently breeding with the special white, so you can just replant that to expand your second hybrid red production. Lastly, when you're breeding your second hybrid reds together to get blues, you sometimes get reds. These reds are the second hybrid red, so you can again replant that to expand your blue production. You may also get whites, which are special whites.

[@PinkHairDontCare]

My flower breeding process was nowhere near as organized as yours, but I did it! I used this method and got a blue rose! It certainly took a while, but I grew the elusive blue rose. Thank you so much!

[@geoffreyasch9764]

I'm stuck on step 3.5 and 4. I have purples for step 4, but they never produce white flowers, what's up with that?

[@Moofan]

Hey man. Just wanted to thank you on this guide. I started about mid May, and JUST got my blue roses today! I haven't been trying every single day, but I followed this video to a T and let me say, it definitely helped! For those who want to try it, have at least five people come over and water your flowers so the chances of a flower spawning increase!

[@MrKlawUK]

Probably dumb question - but if step 6 gives you the 1/64 hybrids, won’t a grid of those like;y give you a blue faster than going through the other steps - the end result is a 1/4 red, but the in-between steps have 25% or sometimes lower chance to give the flower you need to go to the next step

[@user-tg3jl1mt4e]

You would need to produce 32 of the 1/64 hybrids to match the effectiveness of 2 of the 1/4 hybrids. It might be faster, haven't done the math tbh. But it would require A) way more space B) You to breed/test or duplicate 32 of the 1/64 hybrids which would take some time as well since they only breed 25% of the time(50% of the time they could be white and 25% of the time they would produce a purple that only produces whites and no yellows). IDK what the rate of duplication is tho so that might make it faster.

[@RealJB003]

MrKlaw that would probably be faster if you only wanted one blue. But for repeated results the video method is more effective
