Bloom

Are both these sentence correct:


a) "How long do roses remain bloomed, before thay start to wither?"


b) "How long do roses remain in bloom, before thay start to wither?"


Note: By this, I basically remain how long roses last ('in their best')?



"

'Remain in bloom' makes sense; 'remain bloomed' does not. 'Bloomed' is simply the past tense of 'to bloom' and does not fit in with 'remain'.
