In some of these cases of young irises not being able to stand a freeze,  the 
operative factor may not, in fact, be cold impacting plant tissues  directly, 
but the impossibility of taking up necessary moisture from frozen  
soil/medium, a problem experienced by many plants in frozen ground.  You might try 
Wilt-Pruf.
