Morphology
This is a straightforward adjective + noun combination: 'white' simply specifies the color of a 'dipladenia' (a showy-flowered tropical vine), so the phrase denotes a dipladenia with white flowers. Color + noun constructions are fully compositional and common across languages, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents will readily understand the meaning.
Etymology
White dipladenia comes from old Greek words for 'double' and 'gland' because the flower of dipladenia has two small nectar parts. The word white simply shows the flower colour, so white dipladenia names the shrubby climbing plant with white, funnel-shaped flowers.
