The village was populated by Armenians and Udis before the exodus of Armenians from Azerbaijan after the outbreak of the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict.

This is in reference to the abundance of roses that naturally grow in this place.

The town was renamed to Oghuz in 1991 during the expulsion of the Armenian and autochthonous Udi-speaking population.

During the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict, most Udis of the town were expelled by the local activists of Popular Front of Azerbaijan.
