Some simply start later than others. My mother's Queen Elizabeth
hasn't bloomed yet either, while her Betty Boop is putting out like
nobody's business. In my yard, Pebble Beach, Taboo, and First Prize
are just now forming buds, yet Brigadoon and Kentucky Derby are in
their second flushes of blooms.

QE may have problems with your climate (I have heard it can be fussy),
but if you only planted it this year, it's certainly too soon to
declare a verdict. They could just be taking time to get used to
their new environment.

Mine usually flower in mid summer and then last for weeks if we don't have
too much rain.

Three years ago I planted, what was called a QE climber. As I recall
it didn't bloom until early summer the first year, last year and this
year, it bloomed in late April (Central US). Note: It does not look
like a QE (too orange) and neiter is it a climber, in a typical sense.

What color should a rose be?. . .rose of course.

Climbing Queen Elizabeth is a dud - it almost never flowers despite
being an immensely strong grower.

The bush form is much better. If that's what you have, be a bit patient.
Feed the bush generously - it grows big and tall. Without feeding it
will bloom for you once it's established, but you'll get better results
sooner with fertiliser.

I grow QE in pot.
So its probably a
couple of weeks behind.

But it has put out several buds.

QE is a sun hog. 7-8 hours min.

I'm far from an expert, but my QE is my fav rose (excepting Lemmons'
Immortal grin) in my garden. Right now there are no buds yet, but
we've been having a long, cold, wet (yes, wet in S. Idaho) spring and the
only two that have buds are Lemmons' Immortal and some mystery huge
thornless bush that gets millions of lavender flowers that all open at
almost the same instant. Last year, my QE was the first bloom in the
garden.

I dont think so. I've only 1 QE to go on though, and mine didnt bloom until
the second year in the ground, but now it's a contender and blooms
magnificent blooms every year.
