Subject: Re: Re: CULT: ROT

I have been reading the posts on rot with interest. Those of us in the mid
Atlantic states have had to deal with soft rot for years, and now some of
you seem to be having some of our typical mid summer weather "95/95" that is
95 degrees with 95% humidity. Throw some rain in the mix with high night
time temperatures (75 degrees) and you to will have "rot".

I have suggested that hybridizers in the western states need to trial their
seedlings in our environment if they want to produce iris that have greater
resistance to soft rot. The fact that they do not generally trial out
seedlings throughout the USA will continue to increase the problem of soft
rot in the newer irises.
