Morphology
The compound 'rosebud cherry' combines 'rosebud' (a closed rose flower) and 'cherry' (a cherry tree/shrub) in a straightforward noun-noun composition, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents can infer it refers to a cherry/shrub with rosebud-like or rose-pink flowers. This follows regular English compounding and is cross-linguistically transparent, making the meaning recoverable without prior exposure.
Etymology
Rosebud cherry comes from the way the tree's flowers look: tiny buds that open like small rosebuds on a cherry tree. So the name helps you picture 'a shrub or small tree with rose-pink flowers'.
