"Open" indicates that the app is still on your iPhone. You may have removed the app from the Home Screen rather than deleting it. Apps can be removed from the home screen without being deleted. Go to the App Library (swipe left past your last home screen). From there you can touch and hold an app and slide it left back to the home screen.

Also note the Search window at the top of the App Library.
