Your best rebloomers in zone 6 or lower

Lewisburg, KY(Zone 6a)

I am trying to add some good rebloomers. I have a few that are listed as Rebloomers but rarely do. Can you guys help me out?
Thanks,

Immortality is very reliable. However it may take a year to get settled. I have also found Pink Attraction to rebloom well, even here where we don't have many rebloomers. For medians; my DD had IB Chanpagne encore bloom from mid Sept to early Dec this yr. on its 3rd yr in the garden. The first 2 yrs it had a stem or 2 rebloom. She lives in mid-northern OH on the lake plain so as a later frost, but it was quite a performance.

"Breakers" a TB Schreiner 1986, should do well for you it blooms for me but quite late in the season and I always lose a few stalks to freeze.
"Autumn Embers"- SDB, Chapman 1996 blooms like crazy here. "Blueberry Tart"- SDB, Chapman 2002.
"Casual Elegance"- a TB Aitken 2004,
as MA said above "Immortality"- Zurbrigg 1982 a short TB, and "Pink Attraction"- Hall 87.
"Chatter"- a TB, Ghio 92
"Istanbul"- Byers 89 a TB should for you,
"Peggy Sue"- a TB, L. Lauer 2006 does here,

This is a noid someone sent to me in '08. Bloomed first
year '09, dug & potted to save in July and bloomed again
very late. Something like this would be good for a small
rock garden or plot.

First pic 4-26-09.

Total Recall and Earl of Essex will re-bloom sometimes for us. But Clarence has never bloomed, not even sure it's still among the living,

no photos, but my Again and Again rebloomed for almost a month! I couldn't believe it. I'm in zone 7A

Know I'm not in zone 6 and lower, but thought someone might have luck with it in 6b with that long a bloom time!

I've had great luck with the IB Double Overtime. It's a multiple rebloomer for me, which I really love. And Again and Again has been blooming off and on since Thanksgiving. We do have really mild winters here, and I'm sure that's why. And this year I just got Marty Richards, which presented me with a stalk two months after I planted it. Love that! Summer rebloom is not good here because it gets so hot petals burn, so I'm trying to focus on fall and winter rebloomers. I would appreciate any suggestions for good fall/winter rebloomers, as I'd love to see some color spots on these dreary foggy days!

usually early rebloom in a good indicator that an iris can rebloom at zone 6 and below. The most prolific early rebloomer I've ever had is Double Shot.
