It appears former Chicago Bulls point guard Derrick Rose has traded in hoops for horticulture.
Well, at least for a day.
On Thursday afternoon, Rose, who retired from the NBA this past fall, collaborated with West Loop florist Planks & Pistils to host a special pop-up flower shop at Tortoise Supper Club in River North. Hundreds of fans lined up hours in advance to snag free rose bouquets and a picture with their apron-clad icon.
