Popular cut flower (9)

I believe the answer is:

carnation

(Other definitions for carnation that I've seen before include "Flower suitable for buttonhole ..." , "Flower like pink" , "Anoint car with the strange flower" , "Pink/white/red flower" , "Oscar Wilde wore a green one" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
