The variety 'Randy' is another of the hybrids selected by Francis de Vos and William Kosar in 1956 at the U. S. National Arboretum in Washington. It belongs to the 'eight little girls' group, the names of the different cultivars being derived from the names of the daughters and wives of those working and associated with the Arboretum.

The variety 'Susan' flowers very profusely in April and May, repeating flowering in late summer. The flowers are of medium size up to 12.5 cm in diameter, delicately fragrant.
