Chapter 7 of The World of Iris, authored by Raymond G. Smith is on rebloom.  

 Excerpt: Rebloom-Definition (page 137 of TWOI)  

A rebloomer may be defined as any iris that produces an extra period of full 
bloom each year.  By full bloom is meant bloom of one or more increases from 
each rhizome that flowered during the immediately preceding regular period.  
This definition excludes those sorts whose stalks emerge serially over an 
extended season as well as clones with only a fraction of the mature rhizomes 
blooming during one period and the remainder during the next, even though such sorts 
do provide color apart from regular seasons and are frequently mislabeled 
rebloomers.  

Is there something more or different in the RIS bylaws?  I don't have a copy. 
 Clarence?  Rosalie?  Mike?
