Mine has never flowered.

I feel a purchase coming on. :-)


I grew mine from a seed :-)


Which is probably why it's never flowered.

I believe that the double-flowered variety is more reliable, and appears
pretty hardy. There are (were?) a couple of fairly large plants in Lesnes
Abbey Wood in SE London, which flowered every year without wall protection.
Never fruited, though, as double-flowered (can't have everything!).
