Fairy Rose

The Fairy Rose is a flower crop that grows from Fairy Seeds in 12 days. It goes through four growth stages before it can be harvested: 1 day, then 4 days, 4 days, and 3 days. Fairy Roses come in six different colors, and each color occupies a separate inventory or chest slot. Each color also has four quality levels, for a total of 24 possible item variants.

When planted within range of a Bee House, a Fairy Rose changes the honey it produces into Fairy Rose Honey. The flower must be within 5 tiles in any cardinal direction of the Bee House. Fairy Rose Honey is the most valuable type of honey, which helps offset the crop’s relatively poor direct profit. Fairy Roses can also be bought from the Traveling Cart.

Fairy Roses have a few practical uses beyond sale value:

• They can be used in the Sewing Machine to make the dyeable Long Dress.
• They can be used as a red dye item in dye pots, even though the crop does not have a true red color variant.
• Having at least one mature Fairy Rose on the farm by the end of a day increases the chance of the Crop Fairy event by 70%, raising it from 1% to 1.7%.

Fairy Roses are also one of the options for a Community Center bundle, making them worth keeping even if the crop itself is not being grown for profit.
