Well i asked from Mr Ashfaq pride seeds and he said that none of these carnations in the catalog are fragrant and the chaubaud mix is included in the catalog i think. You personally checked their fragrance then i can buy the seeds.

I guess none... our weather is too hot for them... good quality carnations for cut flowers are vegetatively propagated plants, like the Dahlia... I dont know whether they are available here...
