Florists’ fingers fly, as they gear up for a very, very busy Valentine’s

February 13, 2019 By Special to The Laker/Lutz News

Rose’s Hub Florida on North Dale Mabry Highway in Lutz has played a role in brightening Valentine’s Day for recipients of the florist’s handiworks for decades. The business, which opened its doors in 1959, is best-known for its farm-fresh flowers and 70-cm long-stem roses. Rose Moore is the current shop’s owner. Her mother, Louise, opened it, and Rose’s daughter, Egan, is the third generation of floral designers to work there. They expect to be very, very busy with Valentine orders. Caroline the cat likes to hang out, there, too.

While Caroline the cat rests on the counter, Rose Moore, the owner of Rose’s Hub Florist, left, and her 20-year-old daughter Egan, who is a third-generation florist, create a long-stem rose masterpiece. Between deliveries and walk-ins, Moore said that during this time, her shop will create and sell hundreds of flower bouquets and centerpieces. (Christine Holtzman)
Caroline, a stray cat that stuck around to become the mascot of Rose’s Hub Florist, 18721 N. Dale Mabry Hwy., in Lutz, rests on the counter while watching shop owner Rose Moore and her daughter, Egan, prepare flowers for what promises to be a very busy Valentine’s Day.
Rose Moore, the owner of Rose’s Hub Florist, tidies a long stem rose that will be used in one of several centerpieces. Roses are the top choice by customers for Valentine arrangements, and they prefer the red, white and pink varieties.
