In a home garden and without a greenhouse, is it possible to grow the kind of carnations florists sell?
If you link to a seller or nursery as part of your answer, it should be a specialist, not places like Gurney's and Breck's.
I'm not in a hurry so please feel free to take some time to research if you need.

But what you can do to improve your yield is independent of where you are. Use nutrient rich soil, especially soil you've composted or even soil with banana peels or other fruits. The things living in your land will do the composting for you.
Plant them in the spring time, after any frost could possibly ever come. You should use soil that's not too wet. Don't plant them deep at all. They should be almost at the top of the soil when planted.
If you plant them indoors, mix a little bit of sodium polyacrylate into the soil. It will help keep the soil and carnations properly hydrated.

So, sorry, I can't give you a yes or a no unless I know what zone you're in, and what the general weather trends are.
