"Quand les roses meurent-elles ?"Translation:When do the roses die/ When do the roses fade away?Explanation:Generally it is not enough to add a question mark at the end of a sentence to make it a question.The sentence proposed here is a question. So you need to use one of the possible interrogative constructions that French has:FORMAL : quand les roses meurent-elles ? STANDARD : quand meurent les roses ?
