How to recognise it

Single large bloom per stem (standard, not spray type)
Fringed, serrated petal edges typical of carnations
Thick, jointed (nodal) stem with waxy grey-green foliage
Clove-like scent typical of Dianthus
Calyx is tubular and ribbed at base of flower

Care

Strip foliage that would sit below the waterline and recut stems at an angle above a node. Use clean water with flower food and keep away from ripening fruit as carnations are sensitive to ethylene. Recut every few days and keep cool to extend life.
