'VLR002' originated from a cross conducted at the Vineland Research and Innovations Centre Inc. in 2012 between the female parent selection '60' and the male parent selection '564'. The parent varieties were developed at Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada, Morden Research Station in Manitoba and moved to Vineland Research Station in 2010 and 2011 respectively, prior to the initial cross which resulted in 'VLR002'. In 2014, seedlings of 'VLR002' were evaluated at Vineland Research Station based on flower colour, flower type, flower abundance, plant growth habit and disease tolerance. Plants were distributed to nine other locations across Canada in 2015 for further evaluation.....colour on inner side, even colour on inner side, purple red (RHS N57A) on inner side, purple red (RHS N57C) on outer side
