Rose not flowering - how long to give it?
In article ,
says...
I'm helping to renovate a neglected garden and there is a rose which I
think qualifies as a rambling ground cover rose.
At least, it has a lot of thin stems which grow up and out of a centre in
all directions and bend back down to the ground. The general habit is like
a well behaved bramble.
Anyway, it had no rose hips over winter, nor signs of last year's
flowers.
Possibly it's a sterile double flowering type which produces no hips.
Once the flowers drop off there might be no sign left.

"A basic guideline is that hips won?t form on roses that produce blooms
with tightly packed petals, like tea roses."
