louisiana iris

Louisiana iris:
I live in Ohio, zone 6. I have a pond with a cement stream and various bog
gardens. Some of my Louisiana irises are in a 6-inch cement stream
anchored with stones and roots. I will be turning off my stream in late
fall, and I'm not really sure what to do with my Irises. If let them in
the stream I am afraid with Ohio's freezing and thawing weather the roots
won't have any protection.
I can pot them up and put them on my marginal shelf in my pond or I can put
them in my acidic bog garden. If I put them in dirt, come early spring
what will happen to their flowering cycle when I want to put them back in
my stream? Do you have any ideas or suggestions?
