In cultivated carnation (Dianthus caryophyllus) free from other viruses it causes diffuse chlorotic spotting and mottling, with spots and flecks of darker green on some of the veins of young leaves. Older leaves are usually symptomless. Symptoms may be very slight in some cultivars of the Sim group in winter, but more conspicuous in others and in seedling clones. Flower yield may be decreased and colour break and distortion may occur, especially in summer. Symptoms are intensified when the plants are also infected with carnation mottle virus.
