Definitions
- This new carnation variety was discovered by me in 1977 as a seedling of unknown parentage growing among a field of carnations maintained by me for breeding purposes at Aalsmeer, The Netherlands. This particular plant was selected for propagation and test because of its tall, sturdy growth habit and its profuse production of bright red flowers and my progressive propagation of this new plant, by cuttings, at Aalsmeer clearly demonstrated that the novel characteristics of this new plant would hold true from generation to generation and appeared to be firmly fixed.
- Form Generally cylindrical and of inverted oval shape.
- Rate of opening With mature bud, the flowers will appear about three days later.
- Sepals The sepals are hooded over the bud before dividing and stand up as the flower petals unfurl.
- Petaloids About 30 in number and about 4 cm. long.
- Lasting quality As a cut flower -- 10 to 16 days.
- Filaments.--Length Varies from 10 to 30 mm. Color: White with greenish base.
- Ovaries Normal, light green in color with yellowish top.
- This new carnation variety most nearly resembles the variety "Red Baron”; however, it is taller, of a bushier growth and the flower petals are more serrated.

Abstract
A new variety of spray carnation having relatively small, bright red blooms which are produced continuously and profusely on sturdy, upright flower stems, the flowers being distinguished by their folded petals which are deeply and more serrated than usual, the plant itself having a vigorous and rapid growth rate reaching a height of about one meter.
Description
This new carnation variety was discovered by me in 1977 as a seedling of unknown parentage growing among a field of carnations maintained by me for breeding purposes at Aalsmeer, The Netherlands. This particular plant was selected for propagation and test because of its tall, sturdy growth habit and its profuse production of bright red flowers and my progressive propagation of this new plant, by cuttings, at Aalsmeer clearly demonstrated that the novel characteristics of this new plant would hold true from generation to generation and appeared to be firmly fixed.
My new variety of spray carnation is illustrated by the accompanying photographic drawing which shows, in full color, the upper portion of a typical spray stem bearing buds in various stages, as well as fully opened flowers, the view including a face view of a fully opened flower and parts of a half opened bud, the colors shown being as nearly true as it is reasonably possible to obtain by conventional photographic procedures.
The following is a detailed description of my new carnation plant based upon observations of greenhouse grown plants made at Aalsmeer, The Netherlands, in January 1983, the color designations being according to The R.H.S. Colour Chart published by The Royal Horticultural Society of London, England.
