Morphology
The sense 'an overly optimistic outlook' is directly derivable from combining 'rosy' (hopeful, promising) with 'perspective' (viewpoint). This adjective+noun composition follows a regular semantic pattern that is cross-linguistically common, so a B1 learner who knows both words would readily infer the MWE's meaning.
Etymology
Rosy perspective may come from the image of looking through a rosy lens at the world, so the perspective looks pink and nicer than it really is. That's why it means 'too optimistic' or 'ignoring problems'.
