In act II scene 2 what does Juliet mean when she says in a name that which we call rose by any other would smell as sweet?

Juliet is saying that a rose would still be just as beautiful and fragrant, even if it was called by a different name. This is a metaphor for love, suggesting that the true essence of a person or relationship is not in the name or title, but in the qualities that make them unique.
