The noun phrase is directly compositional: 'flowering' (bearing blossoms) modifies 'raspberry' (the shrub/fruit), so the phrase denotes a raspberry plant that blooms, matching the provided definition. This simple adjective+noun pattern is cross-linguistically common and predictable, so a B1 learner who knows both words would readily infer the meaning.
Etymology
Flowering raspberry is named for what you see: its bright flowering, or showy blooms, and the small red fruit that look like a raspberry. So the name simply describes a shrub with showy flowers and raspberry-like fruit.
