    For all you magpies out there, you may be wanting to know if Gold Roses exist in New Horizons. They do exist, but like the 6 Golden Tools, they take some effort and patience to acquire. So let’s get to it, here’s how to get Gold Roses in Animal Crossing: New Horizons.

    Obtaining The Golden Watering Can

    You’ll first need the Golden Watering Can before doing anything else. You can get given the DIY recipe (which recquires one ordinary watering can and one gold nugget) to craft it after you have achieved a 5 star rating for your island.

    How To Achieve A Five Star Rating For Your Island

    Essentially, you will need to do the following to gain a five star rating:

    • Plant lots of flowers and make sure you have the right amount of trees
    • Get rid of any weeds growing on your island
    • Have the maximum number of residents living on your island (10)
    • Place a combination of bought and crafted items around your island
    • Place a load of fences

    You can keep checking in with Isabelle who will inform you of your island’s rating, and give you tips on how to improve it. Once you check in with her and she tells you that you have a five star rating, she will give you the DIY recipe for the golden watering can.

    Obtaining Black Roses

    In order to obtain Black Roses, you will need to cross-breed Red Roses in a mesh-like pattern (more on creating hybrids here). Plant enough Red Roses and you’ll get Black Rose hybrids.

    Obtaining Gold Roses

    Once you have obtained a few Black Roses, arrange them in the same mesh-like pattern you did in order to create the Black Roses. You will then need to water the Black Roses with your Golden Watering Can. The next day, you may see Gold Rose buds appear between your Black Rose hybrids. If you see any Gold Rose buds appear, they will grow into fully formed Gold Roses the day after that.

    Gold Rose Selling Price

    Gold Roses sell for 1,000 bells each, which probably isn’t worth the time and effort you put into obtaining them.

    In order to see how the different roses should be placed, check out the YouTube video below for a full tutorial.

    Although notoriously difficult to acquire, golden tools have appeared in all the mainline Animal Crossing games. If you have been wondering whether they can be obtained in New Horizons, the answer is yes, but it will take time and effort to own them. Here’s how to get all 6 golden tools in Animal Crossing: New Horizons.

    Rather than receiving an actual golden tool for fulfilling certain requirements, in New Horizons, players will be given recipes to craft them instead. The crafting materials required are one standard version of the tool, and one gold nugget. Gold nuggets can occasionally be obtained by hitting rocks with your shovel. Therefore it might be a good idea to stockpile as many of them as you can.

    Additionally, whilst golden tools are more durable than regular tools, they will break eventually. But as you will have already learnt the recipe for the tool, the only difficult part is collecting gold nuggets.

    Golden Net

    In order to acquire the recipe for the Golden Net, you will need to catch every bug in your Critterpedia. You can kill two birds with one stone (or one bird with many bugs) by donating any new bugs you catch to the museum.

    Golden Fishing Rod

    You will receive the DIY recipe for the Golden Fishing Rod after completing the fish section of your Critterpedia. However, it will take time to receive this recipe, as the fish you catch will change with the seasons. Therefore, like with bugs, you can use this oppurtunity to donate any new catches to the museum.

    Golden Shovel

    In order to get the recipe for the Golden Shovel, you’ll have to help the pesky pun-filled Gulliver 30 times. The seagull sailor randomnly washes ashore from time to time. If you locate the 5 communicator parts necessary to fix his phone so that he can be rescued, he will send you a reward in the mail.

    Golden Slingshot

    The exact method required to attain the recipe for the Golden Slingshot is currently unknown. In previous games, a player could receive a Golden Slingshot by shooting down a certain number of balloons. Whilst unconfirmed, it is thought that the ‘It’s raining treasure’ Nook Miles achievement for shooting down 300 balloons will earn you the recipe.

    Golden Watering Can

    To receive the recipe for the Golden Watering Can, you need to achieve a perfect 5-star rating for your island and speak to Isabelle. This involves having a sufficient number of happy residents. Additionally, you will need to improve your island’s appearance by pulling weeds, planting flowers and trees, completing projects etc. You can speak with Isabelle at Residents Services to find out your island’s rating, and to get tips on how to improve it.

    Golden Axe

    In order to obtain the recipe required to craft the Golden Axe, you will need to have destroyed over 100 axes. The destruction of flimsy axes, stone axes, and regular axes all contribute towards acquiring this recipe. Therefore if you’re dead-set on acquiring the golden axe, use flimsy axes where possible, as they are the easiest to break.
