To find the ratio of the number of blooming rose bushes to the number of bushes that are not blooming, we first need to determine how many bushes are not blooming.
Jason has a total of 58 rose bushes, and 41 of them are blooming. Therefore, the number of bushes that are not blooming can be calculated as follows:
\[ \text{Number of non-blooming bushes} = \text{Total bushes} - \text{Blooming bushes} = 58 - 41 = 17 \]
Now, we have:
- Number of blooming bushes = 41
- Number of non-blooming bushes = 17
Next, we can express the ratio of blooming bushes to non-blooming bushes:
\[ \text{Ratio} = \frac{\text{Number of blooming bushes}}{\text{Number of non-blooming bushes}} = \frac{41}{17} \]
So, the ratio of the number of bushes that are blooming to the number of bushes that are not blooming is:
\[ \boxed{\frac{41}{17}} \]
