Name: Paul Utah (Zone 5b) Grandchildren are my greatest joy.
I'm thinking that there are benefits to living in one of the driest states. I've grown iris for many years and only remember 2-3 plants during all that time with bad leaf spot. I dug those and discarded them. I would hate to have ugly plants when the bloom season is over. I also grow 70+ HT Roses and have very few disease problems with them. I don't spray the roses or iris.
