A rose cutting from a pruned bush grew well for 2 seasons but no buds. Gardener suspected insufficient sun, considered transplanting. Asked if cuttings lack "correct genes" to bloom.
Cuttings need 6+ hours full sun to bloom. Also, some roses don't flower until year 3—they build vegetative structure first. The cutting has the same genetics as the mother.
