John, you said it better than I.
Mississippi is one of the rainiest, most humid and hottest areas
anywhere to try to grow bearded irises yet we are very successful
with a lively society that displayed nearly 200 stalks at our last
show. Everyone plants in elevated beds or on high ridges or
slopes. We have very little rot.
Older, historic irises can rot just like the new ones. Plant them
where drainage is poor and see what happens.

or Clorox if these rot reports continue. It is the miracle 'vaccination'
but a slower cure).
