There is actually no Biblical Hebrew phrase for "rose of Sharon."

"Rose of Sharon" is a mistranslation of a more general Hebrew Word for crocus. Chavatzelet HaSharon (חבצלת השרון) is an onion-like flower bulb.The Hebrew חבצלת (cḥavatṣeleṯ) is a flower of uncertain identity translated as the rose of Sharon in English language translations of The Bible.

Etymologists have tentatively linked the biblical חבצלת to the Words בצל betsel, meaning 'bulb', and חמץ cḥamatṣ, which is either 'pungent' or 'splendid'
