Question

Can anyone tell me which sentence is correct? Or both are correct?

"The roses are still beautifully in bloom."
"The roses are still in beautiful bloom."

Thanks!

Answer

Both sound awkward because ‘beautiful’ should attach to the flowers, not the bloom. Some natural things to say are:

The roses are beautiful. They’re still in bloom.
The roses are still blooming. They’re beautiful.

Answer

To my ear both are okay, first one would probably be more common/standard.
