My peony hasn't bloomed in 10 years!
+4
I added a red rose plant in a nearby garden and it hasn't bloomed since. The leaves come up each spring nice and hearty and get about 3ft tall, but no beautiful flowers. Is it possible the rose is stealing its flower??

The peony may need to be divided.
You have the plant to low in the ground ! they don't like to be deep in the ground.
Hi Charlene- at this point you might need to check your soil. It may be that the nutrients in your soil just isn't adequate for the plants you have in that area.
It may just be time to move it.
It is my understanding that peonies do not like to be moved. They also require a lot of sun. Are there any other plants that may be growing larger than previously around your peony and may be crowding it's sunlight? If that's the case, try to prune back the plant that is growing around it. Peonies also need ants to bloom (some how they get to the plant).
That's probably a good idea.
The best soil to use when growing roses is loam. Loam is about 50 percent air and water with the balance being made up of sand, silt clay, and organic material.
good luck
