SUMMARY Application of gibberellic acid (GA 3 ) to isolated petals of carnation growing in agar or a liquid medium resulted in a delay in senescence by up to 4 days. Sucrose and 8‐hydroxy‐quinoline sulphate were also effective in delaying senescence but combined effects with GA 3 were not additive.
