Although this flower has been grown over the years in small areas near Tarragona, the Terres de l’Ebre region and L’Empordà region, to speak of carnation cultivation as an economic activity in Catalonia is to speak of El Maresme region, where for many years it has been a hallmark of the fundamental economic and social life of much of the population. We would also like to foster the recovery of the historical memory of the most representative ornamental horticulture crop in Catalonia and to encourage other researchers to enlarge upon and complete this modest study.Keywords: carnation; history; Catalonia.
