Morphology
rhodanthe + manglesii
This is a Latin binomial (scientific) name rather than a compositional English phrase; neither element is a common English word a B1 learner would know, and 'manglesii' is an eponymic species epithet with no lexical meaning. Scientific names require specialist botanical knowledge, so the plant meaning cannot be derived from the constituent parts by an average B1 learner.
Etymology
Rhodanthe manglesii comes from two parts. Rhodanthe comes from Greek words for 'rose' and 'flower', which fits its pale pink, long-lasting blooms, and manglesii honors a plant collector named Mangles, so the full name means a rose-like flower named for Mangles.
