Derrick Rose grabs the opportunity at first pitch at White Sox vs Angels to announce his new business venture

It seems like Derrick Rose wants to embrace a different role after he retires from the NBA. The former NBA superstar is eying a "businessman" role with his new business venture. Derrick Rose is planning to start a flower shop business.

After throwing the pitch for the Sox, Rose revealed just a bit about his flower shop. He also used the perfect occasion to promote his upcoming business venture.

"It started with us," Rose said. "We’re doing something as people are all leaving, priming people as far as the flower shop we are opening soon. We wanted to conflate this with the flower shop, so when people leave here, they will be getting roses to tell people the flower shop is coming soon."

The former NBA MVP also promoted his upcoming flower shop on his IG story.

"Sub Rosa... Yea this is confidential," he wrote in the caption.

While Rose revealed his future plan, he didn't reveal much about his business plan and didn't want to make a big jump just in anticipation. The former MVP said that although his flower business idea isn't brand new, he has his twist to it.

Last month, the Chicago Bulls honored Derrick Rose at halftime with a "Derrick Rose Night" in the game against the New York Knicks. The team will also officially retire his #1 jersey next season.
