Romney has said the first-term senator from Florida is among those he is considering to be his running mate.
Romney is expected to announce a decision sometime before the Republican convention late next month in Tampa, Fla.
In an interview with The Associated Press, Bush says he pitched Rubio during a recent conversation he had with Romney. He says that Romney didn't indicate which way the search for a vice presidential candidate was taking him.
Bush left office in 2007 and remains influential in Florida and Republican politics.
