Unit 3 Growing Roses

M: Excuse me, ma'am.

I have a problem with my rose bush. It used to produce a lot of pink roses. But now it doesn't produce any flowers at all. W: I see.

That does seem like a problem. Do the leaves on the plant look healthy? M: Not really.

The leaves used to be very green. Now, most of them have turned brown. W: Well, I think your rose bush needs some fertilizer.

M: OK.

What sort of fertilizer do you think I should use? W: This liquid fertilizer is very good.

It will help make your rose leaves green again. Then the plant should produce roses quite soon. The fertilizer costs about ten dollars. M: How long will it take for my rose bush to recover?

W: About two weeks, I think.

M: Great.

I'll take it. Thank you so much for your help. W: You're welcome!
