proper labeling of Hellebore

Hello, I own a garden center in Malvern PA. I want to label the Hellebores correctly. My staff wants to put the common name on our tags, "Lenten Rose". However, I read that the only true Lenten Rose is H. orientalis subsp. abchasicus (Lenten Rose). So would it be incorrect and bad form to label our retail Hellebores x hybridus as Lenten Rose? And is the only true Christmas rose H. niger so labeling a hybrid "Christmas Rose" is incorrect as well. Thanks for your help. Rebekah
