Hydrangea macrophylla 'pink beauty'

Good Day!
I have had this plant for 5 or 6 years now.
It dies back every winter.
It seems to only bloom on old wood -- stems that are near the ground and get 
covered by leaves in the fall.
I'm not happy with the 1 or 2 blooms I get so I am planning on donating it to 
the local hort plant sale tomorrow.
Someone suggested I didn't have it planted right but he was busy and I didn't 
get what he thot I should do differently.
Are any of you familiar with this plant and tell me what your experience is 
with this plant in the 'frozen north?'
I have it on the North side of my house in bright shade.
Thanx for your help, 
Barbara.
