Default Pond Iris Roots

I wasnt aware that siberian iris could stand having their roots submerged in water.
this isnt a louisiana Iris?

I have a recently established pond in which I have put some Iris
Sibericas. During this summer they have produced flowers, but also
copious amounts of roots, some of which are anchoring the plants to the
bottom of the pond, but they have also produced roots which are floating
on the surface of the pond, which is unsightly. What should I do with
the floating roots? Is it OK to trim them or should I learn to live
with them?
