It is hard to tell from a picture of bloom what might be affecting the fruit.

You sent a picture of a bush with flowers on it. If the flowers are pollinated, they should form fruit. If the flowers are not pollinated they will fall off. Lack of pollination, no bees, may be your problem. Here is a picture of bloom and the green fruit you should see a few weeks later.
