Roseline never actually appears on stage in Romeo and Juliet. She is the woman who Romeo is infatuated with at the beginning of the play, and, in a way, she is the reason Romeo and Juliet meet. Romeo goes in disguise to the Capulet's party in hopes of seeing Roseline, but instead sees the beautiful Juliet. He immediately falls in love with her, and Roseline is forgotten. Although Roseline is not described in detail, we do know that she is said to be extremely beautiful, and has taken a vow a chastity till marriage, (and therefore will not return Romeo's affections.)

Rosaline Capulet is a character mentioned in Shakespeare's play "Romeo and Juliet." She is the niece of Lord Capulet and is an unrequited love interest of Romeo before he meets Juliet. Rosaline is a key figure in the story as her rejection of Romeo sets the stage for his passionate relationship with Juliet.

Rosaline Capulet is Lord Capulet's niece, "my fair niece Rosaline" as listed in the list of people the servant is to invite to the house of Capulet. Rosaline also happens to be the former love of Romeo whom he gives up upon in favor of Juliet. Romeo describes her as having "Diane's wit" and he constantly speaks of her beauty. She is used by Romeo's friends to tease him but she never makes an appearance in the play.

Judging by the fact that she was noted as Capulet's niece, it might be Capulet.
