Abstract
A carnation plant known by the cultivar name Redcloud was developed through a breeding program and is particularly characterized as to uniqueness by its dwarf growth habit and the following combined characteristics: upon pinching a rooted cutting, forms 3 to 6 lateral stems 22.0 to 26.0 cm long, each developing a terminal flower and 4 to 6 secondary buds which open intermittently after the terminal flowers seneses; red flowers 5.0 to 6.0 cm in diameter with a slight fragrance; can be grown under specified environmental conditions either as a single pinched plant per 10 cm pot or 3 pinched plants per 13 cm pot, which results in an ideal new flowering house plant.
