The only good advice on cross breeding or hybridization as they scientifically term the word is that the plants must be compatible with each other in other words a rose of one particular color say white can be hybridized with a rose of red color.

Cross breading of plants is easily accomplished via cross pollination of a female plant of one type with the pollen of the male you want to cross it with. This can also be done in reverse, known as the Greek way.
