Answer 1

rose's, petals there is rose and to add ownership of the pettals you add 's and petals doesnt need anything since they dont own anything

Answer 2

rose's; petals

Step-by-step explanation:

This is the correct combination of words for this sentence. In the first case, the rose requires an "s" because the word represent a possessive. We are talking about a rose that has ownership of the petals. In the second case, the word "petals" requires an "s" because it is a plural form, which means it does not need an apostrophe.
