Rocket does flower see the database
http://varieties.potato.org.uk/display_description.php?variety_name=Rocket

but new potatoes are usually dug before the plants flower anyway for new potato taste.

As Rocket is very early you could have a furtle in the soil to see if there's any there worth taking
at the end of this month  :) if there's nothing just recover the roots and let them carry on growing

Last year my rockets were only 10 weeks. They were planted quite late though.
