Lenten rose plants (Helleborus x hybridus) are not roses at all but a hellebore hybrid. They are perennial flowers that derived their name from the fact that the blooms look similar to that of a rose. In addition, these plants are seen blooming in early spring, often during the Lent season. These plants grow best in rich, well-draining soil that’s kept somewhat moist. They also prefer to be planted in partial to full shade. Description from gardeningknowhow.com
