Just to warn you, it could also have been a normal red rose that a villager planted. This is why I moved my critical flowers to the beach.
Also, if you get a blue rose tomorrow I will kill you.
No, really, that'd be awesome, but I have been working at it for some time now—round one I abandoned a little bit ago because of the aforementioned problem (I actually
witnessed villagers adding various roses to what I thought were my red* pairs, which is double annoying because I had found new red roses at times, leaving me slightly unsure of what I even had anymore…
Anyway, yeah, it could take awhile, time to sit back and chill.
This post said three months after achieving a red* pair.
