Etymology of rose / rhodon

All etymological dictionaries I have access to, say that the Greeks imported their word for "rose" from Persia or some other place in the Middle East. I don't know, how reliable this source is, but a quick check seems to confirm its reliability:

So I would agree with Cass in this respect.
