Show the legal claimThe single numbered claim as granted — the legal text that defines what this patent covers.
We claim: 1. A novel, high yielding stable plant of Rosa damascena , designated ‘Ranisahiba’ as described and illustrated, and having the following firmly fixed new combination of characteristics, distinct from the known varieties/land races of R. damascena: (a) Light green stem, red purple (73D) flowers, globular canopy allowing equal distribution of sunlight to the flowers, that enhances flower biomass; (b) High flower yield; (c) Additional economic yield off-season; (d) Yielding oil containing 30-35% geraniol content, 5-7% geranyl acetate content, 4-5% citronellol, 7-8% PE alcohol and 1-3% linalool content; and (e) High geraniol content coupled with wax content of about 6-7.1%.
