Morphology
The phrase combines two literal nouns where 'Actinidia' identifies a vine genus and 'bower' denotes a shaded shelter often formed by climbing plants; a learner who knows both can plausibly infer a vine associated with forming a bower or used ornamentally. This is a compositional, descriptive botanical naming pattern (noun + noun) common across languages, so the overall meaning is directly derivable from the parts.
Etymology
Bower actinidia comes from the words bower, meaning a leafy shelter, and Actinidia, the group of climbing kiwifruit plants. Picture the vine making a green arch with white flowers and fruit, so the name means 'a climbing plant that makes a leafy, fruiting arch'.
