I suspect they will--some of them, at least. I used to live in Wy. and
though I did not grow irises at the time, I have a good idea of your
climate. It's DEFINITELY worth a try. I'd choose some of the aril medians
and quarterbreds to experiment with. In fact, I suspect they might do
better for you than they do here in cold but wet upstate NY. It's not the
cold--it's the wet and humidity they can't handle.
Good luck!
