It's my understanding that flowers such as roses and carnations, when grown from cuttings, spend the first year or so developing root systems capable of sustaining the existing greenery while also developing new foliage. They sacrifice blooming during this first crucial stage. But, I have heard that during years two, three, and beyond, new blooms will appear regularly in ever increasing numbers (i.e. the root system is then capable of supplying the energy needed for reproduction).
