I had one last year with a bad case of rot. I dug it up, cut out the bad rhizomes, soaked it in bleach water, and left it dry out for a few weeks, then replanted it in the same spot without treating the soil. It grew back, and it seems good this spring. Nothing near it was affected.


When Secret Rites got rot, I did the same thing as you describe. The surrounding iris never were affected. Secret Rites is rot free, but just not increasing in the old site. Think this is more an issue with the plant itself.
