I suspect that if the rocket was launching from a pad then it would probably ignite the air around it due to the extreme heat, so you'd see some sort of flames coming out of the engines. In space however you'd probably just see a sort of faint glowing colour, probably purple or something similar (since hydrogen plasma is purple)<br><b>References : </b><br> depends what type of fusion design.
