Description

The 'Triumph Rose' Florist's Carnation is a variety of Dianthus caryophyllus from a renowned series known for its abundance of flowers and large blooms. With its typical clove fragrance, its flowers are double and a beautiful deep pink. They bloom in the summer on a medium-sized plant, allowing you to create elegant scented bouquets. In the garden, the plants quickly form dense cushions of fine, often evergreen leaves with a lovely bluish-green colour that discourages weeds. Ideal for borders and flowerbeds, they tolerate drought and limestone, but will flower more with regular watering.

The 'Triumph Rose' Florist's Carnation belongs to the Caryophyllaceae family. It is a variety derived from the Dianthus caryophyllus. This species is Mediterranean, and has passed down to its descendants, among other traits, its wonderful recognisable clove fragrance. The growth of these 'Triumph Rose' carnations is quite rapid, and the plants stand out for their vigor and abundance of blooms. They will reach a mature height of approximately 40 cm, with a spread of 20 to 30 cm. These carnations form dense clumps from which, from June to July and until September if the soil remains moist, very fragrant flowers emerge on top of sturdy stems, usually single-flowered. The linear, glabrous, leathery leaves are a superb greyish-blue. They remain evergreen through the winter.

The Dianthus 'Triumph Rose' is a plant for sunny borders and flowerbeds, combining sturdiness, frugality, and delicacy. Placed near the house, it exudes its sweet fragrance, and then in bouquets. In the garden, it complements other flowering cushions such as rock roses, campions, bellflowers, Erigeron karvinskianus, and bloody cranesbill (Geranium sanguineum). Also consider catmints, columbines, and scabious. Add a few clumps of grasses as well.

Planting and care

Sow the Carnation seeds from February to April under shelter.
Sow in trays, pots or containers filled with a well-drained seed compost. The seeds should be barely covered with compost. Place the seedlings in a propagator, a mini-greenhouse, or a warm location to maintain an optimal temperature of 18 to 20°C. Germination usually takes 14 to 30 days.
Transplant the young plants, when they are large enough to handle, into individual pots with a diameter of 8 cm. Gradually acclimatise the young plants to outdoor conditions. Plant them with a distance of 30 cm between each plant.
You can also sow directly in open ground from April to June in a warmed soil.

Cultivation:
Plant Carnations in ordinary, permeable and humus-bearing soil, stony, preferably limestone, well-drained. A rich and light soil produces good results. In open ground, this plant is quite hardy, resisting up to -15°C. It prefers a very sunny exposure. Lightly prune the clump after summer flowering to promote regrowth in September. In a rich soil, trim part of the foliage with shears after flowering to maintain a dense habit. In poor soil, apply a balanced fertiliser in March. Divide the clumps every 3 years, in order to rejuvenate those whose base is becoming bare or by easily performing layering or cuttings.
