Would you like some maths ? If not, proceed with the next post.
We need 5500 roses in total for all rewards minus the 50 from the beginning is 5450. The event lasts from Feb 5th to Feb 22nd, that are 18 days. I expect at least 3 double days, probably more, but let's be careful.
5450 roses / 21 days means that you need 260 roses per day to get every reward.
80 from hatching 40 from collecting from habitats 40 from harvesting treats 15 from colosseum 20 from gardenia 10 from visiting friends 30 from gem gifts (that are 6 friends, without additional treats) 25 from gem speedups (this could be 40, but 25 can be achieved with only 15 gems by the buy-a-habitat-for-25-and-sell-it-for-10-trick) ----- 260
Additinally there could be 10 from clearing obstacles 15 more spent gems More roses from friends' gifts
If there are 4 double days the daily amount diminishes to 248, 5 double days result in 236
you have not that much gems ? Well in the scenario above you spend 25 and get 10 back, additinally you get 6 from friends that makes a minus of 9 per day Which results in - 162. You can get gems for twittering your rewards = -157 gems at the end of the event
But maybe there wil be more double days, so that you won't need to use gems.

Fletch_smf. That assumes you can breed more once you have one. Given that it is flagged as not available and not epic then I would expect normal rules to preclude you breeding another if you only have one.
Actually There WAS a maximum for the snowflake event. But it was quite high. Either 120 or 240. (I know 240 was involved but can't remember if that was during doubles) I hit it twice towards the end of the event, and BigZ, I think, admitted to hitting it quite regularly. I am guessing it will be the same for roses. I will even volunteer to be a guinea pig. Every one send me gifts NOW!!!
Viv and I must have both had someone who hadn't updated send us roseless gifts yesterday! What a coincidence!
Hm, well this is a bit of a problem for me! I don't think that anyone is going to receive the max, as 120 would mean 12 friends or more sending you gifts. I'm going to leave my spreadsheet saying that 30 gems is approximate, just for calculation purposes. (6 friends, 5 roses each) obviously you can get more or less depending on how many friends you have and how many roses they send.
The real question is, why aren't they sending a dozen red roses?
It's not the number of gems but the number of gifts. So it could be 6 friends 12 gifts. I hit ithe limit at the end of the Sandaklos event when I started getting both gems and treats from people. I very rarely get both from the same person now but at the start of treat giving it was quite common.
But yes a dozen roses would have been nice. Perhaps a random chance for one gift a day to be a dozen... Could the 10 Rose glitch ( I have had a couple) be a failed attempt to do just that I wonder.

How can I determine whether somebody updated or not. I mean .. - the bench still on the island and.. - the additiional cave empty.. .. might be good indicators But is there a way to really know it ? I, too, got 10 roses from a friend of mine, she only can gift gems and may not have updated yet (see the two points above)
If she sent you roses then her game should be updated. During the winter event people who hadn't updated couldn't send iceberries.
This time it's different.
I sent myself a gem from my old iPod park, which doesn't have the latest update and no event happening. Got 10 roses from it.
Why not? As well to ask why Plant for malachite. There's not even metal (as metal) in that. And the green is hardly plant like. Or metal for Ironwood. I have a few Ironbarks in my back yard and apart from their famed ability to blunt edged tools, there is nothing metal about them

This event caught me by surprise. I've been busy with other things and only checking in on DV once a day. But I do love all the lovely added decor around the breeding islands!
BTW, on checking for Gardenia, don't bother checking around your treasure habitats. Am I the only one who noticed during the Winter event that visitors ignore those habitats? It continued after the event, so it wasn't a temporary bug. Poor treasure dragons - no love for the greedy beasties!
Bring 'em back was a bit of a bust for me. The only dragon I didn't have at least one of was Light Rift. (I started playing DV just as the magic event ended) and despite breeding for it on the EBI for the entire time, plus occasionally in the cave, no Light Rift joined my merry park. I did get an Aurora - in the last two hours before it went away!
When I saw the new couple visitors, and noticed the occasional single wizard or witch scurrying about, usually moving faster than the couples, all I could think was: "Looking for love in all the wrong places..."!

I love how the green bushes grow roses when you achive a prize. So far only one in my park but I am 256 roses closer to the second one. How strange is it that I am more exited about turning the entire bunch of green bushes to rose bushes than I am about acheiving the prizes? Yes, I love to garden!

*sigh* I know I'll not get all prizes even if it work out obtainable on paper. I work weekends so double weekend actually work out worse for me than normal days. 3 gifting friends (I really must save up for a tree!) no islands to clear
And I just planted and harvested 2 loads of treats. Only 8roses from the lot in total! That's rubbish! I'm sure I got many more from previous events. I've not maxed out, it's my first harvest since the event started! :confused:!
Anyway. So long as I get one thorn and I'd rather like the petal path. I'll be happy.
Anybody know how the Path of Petals will work? Do the path segments unlock for general usage continuing after the event or will they be like Spooky Fences and we'll be limited to what we buy during the event?
I would also like to know this. Have you emailed BFS about it? I have a feeling that's the only way to know for sure.

First batch of treats I usually get 6 to 10 roses. I then spend about half an hour planting Dragon Snaps to get the rest. Reason is they are cheap and quick, with being able to pretty much plant and harvest continually as I go through all 11 treat farms.

Precisely what I've just been doing! ? I'm sure I didnt have to do this in previous events though!? Perhaps it's just my mind playing tricks on me!
I suppose if I try really hard I could get the omnitat. But I can't be bothered to give up my life to get the omnitat.... So I proabably won't get it...
We will see. At least I have obstacles ready! New island about 3 days away...
No longer active on DragonVale! *briefly back online*
Well, I appear to have reached the limit on roses from friends. Looks like it's 120.
I got a popup that said "valentines_social_gift_cap_body" (), and now I can't collect my remaining gifts.
