My dad bought these somewhere between 1980 and 1990 from I expect Walmart. He was saving them in his garden for when I was living in one place for more than a couple of years.
I can remember the names of the ones he had when I hear them! I his have Beverly Sills and a few others, he had Wine and Roses...but it finally died on him. I know he had Vita Fire at one time but don't know if this is it. Looking at pics of Vita Fire, it seems that this one has too much yellow and maybe the beard isn't dark enough???

Vita Fire? One of my Dad's irises
Pictures in Plant Files show it as red, not a bi-color.
HIPS has it as Vitafire (Schreiner, 1968) Cherry rose red. Pictures indicate solid color.
I will have to take anouther pic of it this year if it blooms after moving it last fall. The standards were the same color as the falls are ing the pic so not a bicolor, just rusty.
