Should I remove the tiger lilies?

User

Just purchased a house with a lovely garden (well, good "bones" anyway, LOL) but the owners apparantly were in love with tiger lilies because there are stands of them EVERYWHERE. The other thing they apparantly loved was the orange daylily because those are everywhere too. Along with rudbeckias.

Naturally my taste runs to the pastel toned English garden, LOL.

Anyway, I have always had lilies (Asiatics, Orienpets and a few Orientals such as 'Triumphator' which I adore!) and would like to have them in the new garden as well, but seem to recall that tiger lilies carry virus and so am wondering if I should attempt to remove the tiger lilies before introducing any of my Asiatic or other lilies into this new garden?

I know it will take me forever to get rid of the orange daylilies *sigh* but at least they aren't disease carriers...
