The present invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of Carnation Plant named Jun Sakura, a sport of Scania, distinguished from its closest commercial variety, Soana Baranna, as well as any other variety known to me, by its darker pink flower color, taller plant habit, darker foliage color, earlier flowering response, resistance to color fading, a higher crowned flower of larger diameter and less splitting of the calyx and bullheading under widely fluctuating temperatures.
