Origin & Breeding History: 'H2002' was bred and developed by the breeder, Mr. Roji Irie, in Kyoto, Japan. It was bred as part of an ongoing controlled breeding program. 'H2002' originated from a cross conducted in 2002 in Kyoto, between an unnamed proprietary seedling, as the female parent, and the variety 'Yamaajisai', as the male parent. From the resulting progeny, 'H2002' was selected in 2006 for its double flower type, flower colour, flower sterility, repeat blooming ability, and the colour of the young foliage. 'H2002' was first propagated asexually by softwood cuttings in 2008, in Kyoto, Japan.

Tests & Trials: The detailed description of 'H2002' is based on the UPOV report of Technical Examination, application number 2014/0128, purchased from the Community Plant Variety Office in Angers, France. The trial was conducted by the testing station of the Groupe d'Étude et de Contrôle des Variétés et des Semences in Brion, France, from 2015 to 2016. The colour determinations were made using the 2007 Royal Horticultural Society (RHS) Colour Chart.
