Explanation:

Step1: Identify the numbers

The number of blooming rose - bushes is 18 and the number of non - blooming rose - bushes is 16.

Step2: Write the ratio

The ratio of the number of blooming bushes to non - blooming bushes is written as 18:16. But this can be simplified.

Step3: Simplify the ratio

Divide both 18 and 16 by their greatest common divisor, which is 2. So, $\frac{18}{2}:\frac{16}{2}=9:8$. However, looking at the given options, the non - simplified ratio of 18:16 is equivalent to 18:16 = 18:16 in the context of the problem.

Answer:

18:16
