Rose etude no. 16... the adagio cantabile right? Not one of the studies?
If this is infact the above mentioned etude, I know this one very well and it's one of my favorites.

The most important thing in this peace is a clear steady beat, so that you are giving all notes their intended value. It is very easy to short-change note values in this piece and others like it.

As suggested above, you should work on adding more measures around your prolem area such as 5-10 and all the way to 15 so that there is little wory in that section because you know the problem area and you can focus on it.

Another thing that will help you is to always keep your eyes scanning ahead of what you're actually playing. By doing this your fingers already know where to go when you get to trouble spots and you won't be surprised and make a mistake. It's not fool-proof but it works pretty well.
I was origonaly told to use it just for sight-reading (where it is a godsend), but I apllied it to music I know just to see if it woud help and it really does.

If you are using the artistic studies book 1 be sure to look ahead to the next line while playing measure 10 so you aren't surprised.
