Morphology
The meaning 'a garden planted with roses' is directly and transparently derived from combining 'rose' (ornamental shrub) with 'garden' (outdoor plot for cultivating plants). This noun‑noun compositional pattern is common in English and other languages, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents will readily infer the MWE's meaning.
Etymology
The noun rose garden simply names a garden planted with many rose bushes. Imagine neat beds of roses kept to look beautiful and attract visitors, so it means 'a garden or area planted with roses for display or decoration'.
