A wide-eyed 18-year-old blonde, Iris Rose started off as Leigh Rose but changed her stage name when she moved to California. “I wanted something new. Iris is a flower, and maybe I can bloom into someone’s fantasy flower,” she said. “And I wanted to keep Rose.”

Rose started in Las Vegas with Porn Pros after a friend of hers, Ashley Adams, introduced her to the business. “She sent me to the guy she first started off with, which was Mike with Porn Pros.”

What she likes best about her new career, Rose said, is getting to travel and test her limits. One place those limits were tested was on a Kink.com shot with Chanel Preston and John Strong, which she loved. “It was my first Kink shoot,” Rose said. “I was really scared. But I loved it. They did everything I never tried doing before but I wanted to try it. I wanted to test my limits. Yes, flog me. Put that gag in my mouth—do it all.”

In addition to loving her new job, this Florida transplant also loves Los Angeles, even though she finds it “freezing.”

Rose said, “I love that I’m by the mountains. Everything outdoors is gorgeous. I feel like the people are nice and friendly and open. And there are so many beautiful places in California where you can just walk.”
