Me too - I was surprised to hear on list that rhizomes with shaved roots
can also make it out of the 4 inch pots in 2 weeks (seems to be top
speed here). I am going to pay more attention to this next year - keep
track of rooting speed and subsequent performance. The old roots can
definitely remain functional, at least some of the time on some
cultivars.
Walter Moores, remind me why you started shaving? [your irises!]
