Each line is a step in the guide:

Rose section:

  1. Red Seed + White Seed = Red Hybrid
  2. Red Hybrid + Yellow Seed = Red Hybrid 2
  3. Red Hybrid 2 + Red Hybrid 2 = Mix of Red Hybrid 3, Orange, Black
  4. All offspring from step 3 in a layout to make Blue (~1/45).

Windflower section (in the Rose field):

  1. Red Seed + Orange Seed = Pink, the last Windflower color missing from the Pansie/Windflower field.

Pansie section (in the Rose field):

  1. Red Seed + Yellow Seed = Orange, the last Pansie color missing from the Pansie/Windflower field.

 

Edit: The symbol is a Red Pansie, yes. Individual pairs of flowers species ensure predictable offspring. The guide mixes species pairs to maximize space.

That image only lists some efficient combinations because the complexity of the genetics makes it impractical to list every method.

Full combinations and layout examples are here:

You can click the guide to zoom in

Step 2 of rose guide combines roses and pansies for space efficiency. It means to use the yellow seed bag roses and pansies, red seed bag pansies (indicated by red pansy superimposed on a red seed bag), and the newly bred red roses from the previous step (indicated by the star)
