What Does the Golden Watering Can Do in ACNH?
Watering cans are utilized to water the flowers to prevent them from wilting and dying. Also, watering cans are utilized to promote hybridization and the breeding of the new flowers. When a wilted flower is watered, it is going to return to life the following day. The players have to stand next to a flower to water it. A watered flower is going to show water droplets dropping to the ground, followed by the sparkles indicating that the flower has been watered.
Watering the flowers with the watering can is considered important to having and maintaining a Perfect Town environment, as it keeps the flowers thriving and assists promote new growth, including the hybrid flowers.
In the games where the silver and gold watering cans exist, they come with unique properties which can be useful to the player. For example, the silver watering can will be able to revive red turnips in City Folk, while the golden watering can has an opportunity to produce golden roses when wilted black roses are watered with it.

A black rose which has been watered once by a gold watering can has a 50% opportunity of producing a gold rose until it produces one. Keep in mind that better watering cans will water more tiles at once.
