These are the fastest places for someone without an iris-oriented library 
to find info.  

Jay, you answered a question I was too shy to ask.  I have lost to 
rot about 25% of my new iris planted last year.  So I decided I would 
purchase again this summer but leave them dormant over the winter and 
plant next spring.  I was wondering if I could do this (I know tulips 
etc. croak)  But I'm going to keep my unplanted iris at approx 45 degrees 
over the winter with dahlias etc. and see if a full season of growth will 
stop the rot.

Welcome to iris-l.   Ginny in so. ont.
