Just wanted to pass along an excellent article by Don Spoon at Winterberry Iris Gardens. If you want to do iris breeding right and want to know the genetics behind all the traits you're looking for, he has most of it pinned down. It does require studying, but he uses it to train youngsters in the science and mechanics of iris breeding and has the best info on the subject I've seen so far.
