Rose of Sharon not flowering?

I've got 4 Rose of Sharon bushes that were planted in the fall of 2006. They all leafed out last year but did not flower. They are all leafing this year as well, but no signs of any flower buds. I have roses in the general vicinity and they are growing and blooming just fine. Any ideas on why my Rose of Sharons show no signs of flowering (Yes, I *am* aware that roses are not related to Rose of Sharon!)? I should probably add that I'm in Zone 6, KY/TN area. The plants get good afternoon sunlight

you won't see buds for a couple months yet.... RoS don't bloom till the hottest time of summer........
Reply:Mine aren't in bloom yet, either. They are only just now beginning to bud, and I'm in the Southeast, zone 7, so I'm a little warmer than you. Be patient, they'll come around!
Reply:Rose of Sharon blooms near the end of the summer. They are not spring bloomers.
