In order to grow blue roses, players will have to start with growing purple roses first. To do this, they will need to buy red, white, and yellow rose seeds from Nook's Cranny.

Note that the best results in cross-breeding can be achieved only through store-bought seeds rather than natural ones. However, if the player's island does not grow roses or a specific color of roses, they will not find the assorted seeds.

To breed purple roses, players need to plant white roses in a diagonal pattern with one space left between them for the purple roses to grow. Now, this might lead to the growth of by-products in the form of flawed roses, which the player should weed out as soon as possible.

Once players have pure purple roses, they need to breed them in order to grow pink roses. Now, here is where the yellow roses come into play. Breeding these newly formed pink roses with yellow roses will spawn hybrid red roses, which are basically the penultimate form of the desired flower.

Breeding two of these hybrid red roses will finally give rise to the blue roses that players desire, making their island all the more beautiful. Throughout the process, it is important to remember to water the plants daily and be patient with the results.

Happy gardening!
