Morphology
The meaning 'an area of soil planted with rose bushes' is directly and transparently derived from combining 'rose' (the flower) with 'bed' (a garden plot). This straightforward noun–noun composition is common cross-linguistically and would be predictable to a B1 learner who knows both constituents and basic gardening vocabulary.
Etymology
The compound rose bed is a simple, literal name. A bed is a prepared area of soil planted with rose bushes, so the phrase means 'an area of soil in a garden planted with rose bushes'.
