Did you only just plant these? If so, don't worry about it, it just means one of several things: the plants never flowered when they should, or the frost got the flowers before they were pollinated, or there weren't enough insects around to pollinate them, or they suffered a bit of drought and the flowers dropped off, or they were pruned to make taller plants and the flowering growths were removed.

I would leave it planted and wait to see if berries or flowers appear next seaso. Sometimes, plants don't like being moved about and take time to settle into their new home. As Bamboo has said above, don't worry about it.
