Iris bulb rescue? Or am I too late?

I noticed a strange smell in a corner of the garden and found the culprit. A sick and rotting? iris. My first year planting any, this one is one of 4. The other 3 have no issues. This one is the one I was most looking forward to having, gnu blues. The foliage is all spongy, smelly and fell clean off from rotting. The bulb itself, I uprooted and see a lot of little bugs crawling all over it. Is it too late to save her? Or is there something I can do to ressucitate the poor plant? I really appreciate the help.
