The meaning of this is that the name of the rose isn't important to the essence of the rose. If you called a rose, for instance, a chair, it doesn't mean that it becomes less soft, less sweet-smelling.
Juliet is saying this to Romeo, highlighting the unimportance of a name in the essence of a thing (since it's their names that are keeping them apart).

Seeing as Shakespeare was an Elisabethan and in his jokes and innuendos, definitely a child of his times, this quote also has a double meaning. Which rose is Shakespeare talking about? The flower in the yard or the rose that needs be stemmed? Call that rose by its real name and you know why Elisabethans were constantly roaring with laughter at Shakespearean plays.
