Welcome, Toni,
You're going to have to fight a whole lot of people on this list for
the title of best lover of irises! You will learn as much as you can
absorb from this list.
Where are the rhizomes you purchased last year? Are they protected
at all? Have had air? Inside or outside? Irises are the toughest
of plants; you may be able to plant them now and see if they are
still viable. Maybe in pots, in an unheated garage until they can be
planted out next spring? Moist but not wet?
