Presumably it's not flowerd yet but neither have mine so look to see if there's a bud or two. Whatever the variety it's a lovely shrub, well behaved and tidy but I've found they don't like being disturbed and prefere a dry spot.

Mine has not flowered yet, I agree they hate being moved but they like the sun

Ah, Hibiscus syriacus. No need to prune except removal of thin weedy growth. Hardy but late into leaf. Best in sheltered sunny site to maximise growth and get it to flower in our summer.
