Morphology
The noun phrase is directly compositional: a begonia (a plant) that is tuberous (has tubers) and produced as a hybrid (crossbred). This adjectival modification pattern is straightforward and cross-linguistically common, so a B1 learner who knows the constituent words can infer the meaning.
Etymology
The name hybrid tuberous begonia comes from how gardeners grow these bright-flowered plants from a thick underground stem, so tuberous points to a tuber and hybrid means made by crossing different plants. That's why the name means a begonia grown from a tuber and bred for showy flowers.
