[@tmt1387]

With the guides breeding flowers is pretty easy! Except for the stupid blue rose

[@Sknotty]

So, when I started playing I really wanted orange roses. It was simple to just breed yellow and red roses until I got two oranges roses to clone. The next day the orange roses produced another rose, and I picked up the baby rose to move it expecting it to be an orange rose. To my surprise, it was a blue rose- on my second week of playing completely on accident.

[@cherry414]

So you breed two oranges and then you got a blue rose I think I might try this

[@realbratiskim]

Kinda makes sense. I bred two orange cosmos and eventually got some black cosmos out of them.

you can do it in as little as two months with several friends watering daily. That's how long it took me. But i got really lucky because i only had to repeat a step once. The worst part is waiting for the hybrid reds to produce the blue rose.

[@ShadowSkyX]

Because blue roses aren't natural at all. The rose has to be genetically modified to have the blue pigment - at best in reality it comes off looking more lilac in color. No amount of typical cross-breeding will ever get you a blue rose irl. That's why it's so hard to get them in animal crossing, why the genes have to be so specific.

HOW

[@SparkFin]

I studied the whole flower breeding genotypes one day when bored and came up with a way to get hybrid reds that have 1/64 chance of blues: 1) Breed seed white and seed red. Half the reds this pair breeds will be "good" reds. 2) Breed seed yellow and "good" reds. You can use all the reds you get from step 1 for this one. "Bad" reds bred with yellow will NOT breed red or white flowers. You know it's a good red if good reds and seed yellows can breed white and red. Also, the reds these two breed will always be hybrid reds, the ones with 1/64 chance of blue. Also best to breed in pairs of two to avoid any cloned flowers. 3) Breed hybrid red and hybrid red. These will sometimes breed black or orange or red, some of which can have as high as a 1/4 chance for blue. It's best to keep these separate and clone these orange and blacks and reds alone. Take this with a grain of salt, because I can't confirm this works, but I'm 100% sure it does. I can report back later on, I currently have a few hybrid reds after nearly a week since planting seeds. Edit: Can confirm this works!

[@lauravoigt1552]

Just plant tons of roses from seed bags in order to increase your output of the flowers you want. Then when you move them on to the next step, you have a higher chance of getting the desired rose from THAT cross, because there are more potential roses that can breed. It's been about a week for me (no time travel) and I'm already on the testing-the-purple-rose step. The only reason this took so long is because neither my store nor Leif sold roses so I had to run around for a few days on Nookazon trying to get some seeds.

Hi koramora! There is a way to clone any flower. If a flower is alone, it will duplicate. Just leave a certain flower of your choice alone and leave it like that for a few days. Make sure to have some space for the flower to duplicate. Then, water it everyday just like other flowers. Over a few days, it should clone! This method always works for me.

I don't time travel on my island and finally got blue roses to grow (the first one popped up last week, and I've had some others independently spawn in other locations since). The weirdest thing is that I had been really trying to follow a few of the rose breeding guides, but that isn't where the blue ones spawned. While I was working on the blue roses I decided to also focus on golds, and got an explosion of black roses. After having a lot of success with the gold roses and none with the blues, I got a bit burnt out and started to let all the rose gardens go for a bit, and of course that's when the blues started popping up, but they have all come from black roses. The first one was surrounded by black and golds, and popped up after about a week of rain (I hadn't been watering them in that time). Since golds don't breed or spread I feel like the blues had to come from some hidden gene combination in a couple of the black roses I had. After that I decided to let them go a bit more and see what would happen, and in a lower spot in the garden I got a blue rose next to a few black and red roses, so I'm not sure what combo of genes came in, but I was happy none-the-less. I had never seen a guide that said blue roses can come from black roses, so I was really shocked, but in the end I'm not surprised since the roses do seem to have very complicated genes. I just found it funny that they kind of spawned naturally on their own once I let the gardens sprawl out, and none of the "proven" methods of getting the blues has worked for me yet.

[@SaroBird]

I got blue roses without time-traveling, the hybrid island, OR test breeding. It took me 2-3 weeks, but I did have the benefit of friends watering daily. The secret is to actually understand Mendelian genetics and to do the punnet squares for each step so that you know what your possible products are and which of them are "safe" vs. which have a chance to produce useless offspring. I took black roses (ANY black rose will do, there are no bad genotypes for black roses) + seed yellows to make RrYyWWss oranges. cross seed whites to make purples (rryywwss) Your oranges & purples to make reds. Here it's tricky - the reds might be bad hybrids (RryyWwss) instead of good ones (RrYyWwss). Put those reds together. You have an obscenely low chance of getting blues here, but really what we're looking for is their blacks. Replace the blacks from that first step with these. The hope is to end up with a RRYywwss black. That, when crossed with your seed yellows, can produce reds that are guaranteed to be useful. Clone the crap out of those reds and throw them in a plot together. 1/64 chance of blues isn't so bad if you have 5 waterers come to your island every day.

I got blue roses without time travelling. I sometimes had a friend over to water to make it faster. I used a different method by BackwardsN, which is considerably easier. I will put links below. Basically the method has four steps. 1. Place red and white roses from seed bags in 1x5 strokes going w-r-w-r-w. This prevents the reds from cloning. Keep the new reds, ditch the rest. 2. Place the new reds together with yellow roses from seed bags. Again in 1x5 y-r-y-r-y. You will get another hybrid reds you want to keep. Ditch the rest. 3. Put those reds in a turtleshell pattern. (The pattern is easy to google). Keep the reds, oranges and blacks. Ditch the rest. (you might already get a blue at step 3,but the chance is low) 4. Dump the reds, oranges and blacks for together into a turtleshell pattern. At some point you get a blue there. The method is pretty easy, with few steps and no testing, but you require to plant and water a lot of plants. It's the quantitative approach.

I'm working on the Blue rose without time travelling. Helps a lot with the dodocodes community coming to my island and water daily. Breeding is 5X more effective with just 1 friend help water. I used my own method after reading the shared google doc on flower genomes. The step to get to the special hybrid purple takes a long time.

Roses are red, The worst type are blue. Someone please tell me how to get blue roses, I will pay you.

[@Omnicharlizard]

The austinjohnplays guide is actually really good, and it worked. I have over 100 blue roses 😅

[@MasterCookie]

By the way, the path named "BackwardsN" in that guide you used is actually the "Folklore" path. BackwardsN is a different blue rose path that has a lot of gene uncertainty and is better for mass-breeding. Edit: The guide you used just labeled it wrong, but it still has accurate information. It's still completely fine to use!

0:37 is actually true. If grown from seeds, a red pansy (RR yy ww) and a yellow pansy (rr YY ww) will 100% of the time produce orange pansies (Rr Yy ww). The appearance of red and yellow pansies can be explained by how flowers produce new flowers. If the game has successfully rolled for a flower to produce offspring, it will search for a possible flower to breed with in a 3x3 square around itself. If it finds a compatible flower, it will randomly inherit one gene from every gene pair for both of its parent flowers. these flowers will then be temporarily marked unavailable for breeding with other flowers for that cycle. If however there is no compatible flower available to produce hybrids with, the flower will instead create a genetic duplicate of itself. This can explain you getting flowers that have the same color as their parent. If you plant flowers in a row or a grid, it is very possible for flowers to sometimes not have suitable partners to produce hybrids with due to the flowers around them already breeding with other flowers on the same cycle. I guarantee you, if you plant a yellow and red pansy from seeds next to each other with no other flowers touching them in a 3x4 square around them, they will ONLY produce oranges.

I finally got blues roses last month and yes I didn’t time travel and mums are our island flower. I am proud that last week I also got purple windflower so now I have every color.

[@harlowzajac5655]

Kora: “ I wonder if anyone has got blue roses without time travelling “ Me: “ uh, I did “

[@JiaYoung]

My friend got blue roses without tt or hybrid island, she followed like 30 steps and had 5 people come and water everyday , after about 20 days the first one bloomed ! (I watered for her a lot !)

[@omedetow]

Blue roses just grew on my island. I didnt even wanted it to grow. So i just put them aside, since it didnt fit my island

[@molly2763]

Hello! Do you still have the roses? I am willing to pay a good deal for them, if you are interested.

[@laneygabriel6254]

I neglected my roses and somehow ended up with 4 orange roses? Science

[@Laura-hj4ch]

I just kinda went wild with the flower planting and one day the blue ones appeared without me even knowing they existed

[@Delicioushashbrowns]

For those trying to get blue roses organically and without time travel: look up the four step method on KZbin. And trade watering on the nofeeac subreddit. If you get your roses to "gold" sparkles every day, and you plant a lot of roses, you can have blue roses in about two weeks. It's a lot of work to grind waterings, this is true. But the simplicity of the four step method will make this all less frustrating because you won't have to do tests and waste days on those. Each step in the four step method produces a new color (except for special reds at the end) so it's easier to manage. And while the special reds from the four step method have a very, very low chance of producing a blue rose, with water trading you will have tons of opportunities to get blue roses. From there, separate any blue roses you get, trade watering, and clone the hell out of them.

[@PotatoPlaysThePotatoQueen]

I got one from breeding seed yellows and pinks (it's a pretty low chance tho, But the seed yellows and the pinks give you a hybrid red which THEN can make a blue rose, you just dispose of the extra unwanted ones)

[@codyp9416]

I got blue roses legit and it took me somewhere between one and two months. Lots of space taken up for it, but now Francine's yard looks nice.

[@jjooeeyy3412]

I got a blue rose without time travel and hybrid island a few days ago. It took about two weeks but it was definitely worth it! I followed the Austin John Plays tutorial and had 5 friends plus myself water every day. Now on to the easier hybrids!

[@carolapina2905]

Most of the time hybrids just randomly popped up without me realizing I was doing anything.

[@meredith18352]

Austin John Plays has about the simplest way to breed blue roses. I tried and it worked, got my first blue about a month after I started trying without time travel. It would work a lot faster if you can get other people to water your flowers. Oddly, I got the green mum completely by accident, I had a bunch of mixed yellow flowers around one of my villager's houses and one day there way a green mum there. The purple windflower took me a while as well.

[@ManinSuit-zj9zj]

I've been working on blue roses since about a month after the game was released (no time travel) - I'm using the Paleh method, I've just gotten my first 0220 white rose! 😁 Not too many steps to go now, I've genuinely enjoyed how slow the process is - makes each step feel like a huge accomplishment to me

[@runerune8427]

There was a post that said they’d drop off some extra flowers at any ones island. I gave them my dodo code and they gave me 2 blue roses with a lot of other hybrids!

[@Lemon-bw8td]

When you realize you didn't even try but have 3 blue roses

[@katanikoneko9036]

Yes! I have gotten my blue roses without time travel and I started breeding for them almost when the game started. Basically when the genetic information was data mined. Got them about two weeks ago! So, 5 months!

[@helenarneson9384]

I started trying to get blue roses with no time travel around when this video came out, just got my first one today!

[@Caffeinatedly_inspired]

I like your aggressive “BYE!”

[@annalisadugard3628]

I bred blue Roses without hybrid island but with time traveling. I didn't do any of that complicated stuff with checking to see if I had the right genes. What I did was I used a 5x5 block to produce a hybrid purple from whites flowers and another block to produce orange. Then built up another 5x5 block to breed the purple and orange together. Every time they produced a hybrid red, put into the next 5x5 block. That block got bigger and bigger as I expanded it for a better chance at a blue rose. I expanded it with its own red offspring as well as those from the orange and purple block. I know that some of those roses will have the wrong genes, but the quantity is what counts. Somewhere in there the right two will be next to each other. It took a few days of time travelling, but I got my blue rose. Separated it from the rest and let it clone. I now have 6 blue rose plants, which produce a baby about every 3rd day in real time. You can make it very complicated for yourself but you don't have to!

[@seffa3170]

I finally got my first blue rose today with no time skipping (I started trying when you posted this video)

[@koramora]

Eyy congrats!!! Havent gotten mine yet but you getting yours finally makes me feel a lot better lol

[@maple201]

No time travel here and I am on the testing purple stage. I've been at it since the day Leif was introduced and he sold me rose seeds. But I made a discovery: you can streamline by combining the testing purple stage with the purple+orange stage. Skip the testing stage. Breed all your second-generation purples with orange. If you're using the wrong purple, you'll get red and white from the oranges, but if you're using the right purple, you'll get orange and yellow along with red and white. It's still a crapshoot (50/50 false negative rate) but it saves a step! You can also improve your good purple rate from 50/50 up to about 60/40 (over a few generations) by replacing the old purple in your purple/white breeding pair with the new one each time.

[@cupcqke_girl123]

I got a blue rose unexpectedly because my native flowers are roses and one day when i was looking for the money tree gold spot i climbed one of my natural cliffs and found a blue rose and another blue rose that i think were in buds.

[@yingkiyim5659]

i bred blue roses using the same guide u used... without time traveling and the hybrid island. I had my gf water the flowers for me each day so that helped. Took me some 2 months to get it

[@jcannon6]

I just got my first blue rose today with no time traveling. I have been working on flower breeding every day since my second week playing. (First week of April) I would not have been able to do it without guides. I was stuck on the purple flower test for at least 3 weeks. After that, it went pretty fast. The first time my test produced a yellow rose, I duplicated that purple flower like crazy.

[@IOA21]

Surprisingly enough I DID get blue roses within a month of breeding without time traveling. I followed the guide on the data mined Tiny URL link. The biggest time sink WAS testing hybrid purple to breed yellow. That took the majority of my effort. Though after that the rest just fell right into place, and now my island is FILLED with blue roses.
