Some do seem a bit reluctant. They should flower on laterals from the main stems so keep trimming off the ends to encourage side shoots.

This one prefers a bit of shade and should not be cut down to the ground - you can thin out dead wood in winter, and reduce the stems by about a third, but remember this plant wants to be up to 12 feet, and will flower better if it is left to do that.

Previous question
First, do you know which variety it is; second, have you ever pruned or cut it back, and if so, when, and is it in sun or shade?
