Peony tree?

[Lords of Stockton]

I have a 6 foot peony tree that has never bloomed. I planted it about 3 years ago, & although very tall, I have yet to see any flowers. Is this normal? It gets cut back along with the roses every year. What can I add to the soil to get the beautiful flowers. I did a quick search online, but cannot find a website that gives me facts to what I could be doing to get the blossoms coming in. Any help at all in this area will be great & welcome any tips. I live in Stockton, CA where we get very cold winters & very warm summers. Thank you to all the green thumbs out there.
The tree gets the full sun by the early afternoon & gets it till dusk.

Is it in full sun? It should be. Stop pruning and don't fertilize at all.
