Morphology
The phrase denotes a marguerite (a garden flower) that is golden in color, so its meaning is the straightforward combination of the adjective 'golden' + the noun 'marguerite'. This color + noun compositional pattern is common and cross-linguistically transparent, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents can infer the meaning.
Etymology
Golden marguerite comes from a simple image: golden for its bright yellow petals and marguerite is an old French word for 'daisy' that people once thought of as a 'pearl'. So the name describes a bright yellow, daisy-shaped garden flower.
