GOLD ROSES
⭐ •• Gold roses •• ⭐
Gold roses can't be cloned and two gold roses will never breed. Use this guide to learn how to make gold roses!
💡 Pro tip: your black rose will keep its gold flag until it produces a gold rose!

🎞️ Video: Gold Rose Guide
💧 Production Rate vs. Gold Rate
Offspring from black roses with the "gold flag" (both clones and bred offspring) have a fixed 50% chance of being gold.
Visitor watering make your flowers more likely to produce offspring, but not more likely for the offspring to be gold.
CLONING VS. BREEDING
⭐ •• Reproduction Mechanics •• ⭐
Every flower (except gold roses and lilies of the valley) can reproduce in one of two ways:
- Breeding is for when you want to cross genes of two flowers (to make a hybrid, etc.)
- Cloning is for when you already have the desired color, and you want to make more of the same.
❗ Cloning is always better than breeding for making duplicate flowers!
