DataContractSerializer For Dictionary

I'm using DataContractJsonSerializer to get data from this API

https://api.exchangeratesapi.io/latest?base=USD

void GetCurrencyRates(string BaseCurrency, double TotalPrice)

        {
            WebRequest request = WebRequest.Create("api.exchangeratesapi.io/latest");
            request.Method = "GET";
            WebResponse response = request.GetResponse();
            StreamReader sr = new StreamReader(response.GetResponseStream());
          
            using (MemoryStream DeSerializememoryStream = new MemoryStream())
            {
                DataContractJsonSerializer serializer = new DataContractJsonSerializer(typeof(RootObject));

                StreamWriter writer = new StreamWriter(DeSerializememoryStream);
                string str = sr.ReadToEnd();
                writer.Write(str);
                writer.Flush();

                DeSerializememoryStream.Position = 0;
                RootObject SerializedObject = (RootObject)serializer.ReadObject(DeSerializememoryStream);
            }
        }

    [DataContract]
    public class RootObject
    {
        [DataMember(Name="base")]
        public string Base { get; set; }

        [DataMember(Name = "rates")]
        Dictionary<string, decimal> rates = new Dictionary<string, decimal>();
        
        [DataMember]
        public string date { get; set; }
    }

I'm able to get Data for Base and date but it is not pouplating rates Dictionary.

Please help.
