The adjective 'rosy' clearly conveys a positive or hopeful quality and 'everything in the garden' specifies the domain, so a learner who knows the words can often infer a general positive meaning. However the phrase is metaphorical and functions idiomatically to mean 'all is well' in a way that is not fully literal or entirely predictable, so exact nuance may require prior exposure.
Etymology
Everything in the garden is rosy shows a simple picture: a tidy garden full of healthy rosy flowers with no problems. That's why the saying means 'all is well' or 'very good'.
