When to lift dahlia tubers

Hi, Everyone!

I have dahlias planted in containers around our pool here in South Florida and they're doing well. However, come the cooler (spring-type) weather in November, I will be needing to lift the dahlias to make room for the cool-weather plants. Since we don't have frost, it is likely that the dahlias will still be green when I'm ready for the new plants. Will it hurt these tubers if I lift them while they are still green with plants? I would like to be able to store them, if possible...

Any and all advice is welcome!

Thanks!
