Bearded Iris in containers...plant now or later?

I have four TBI's in 1 gallon containers that I bought as rhizomes
last fall.  (Actually, there were six, but two succumbed to rot...
one was Joyce Terry, and the other *might* have been Edith Wolford.
They rotted despite being in well drained soil and in containers,
which dry more quickly than the ground, all other factors equal.)

At any rate, I have about 50 TBIs in the ground.  None of the
plants have sent up a bloomstalk yet, but I suspect it's
"any day now" because the foliage is very healthy and I haven't
used any fertilizer on them.

Should I plant the four in containers in with the others
BEFORE they bloom; (eg NOW)
just AFTER they bloom;
or at some later date?

Thanks!
