The woman sits among beauty and luxury. I can imagine that her mind is filled with thoughts (Mercury) and the analyzing ways of Virgo are at work. What does she do now that she's attained and achieved all the wealth and prosperity on the Earthly plane? If she just sits in her Kingdom of Wealth she would most likely become quite bored. Maybe she's dreaming of her next adventure and a spark of passion ignites. Maybe she becomes involved in charity work or the lineage of her family making sure the wealth and knowledge is passed on.
To me the red roses are a hint of the spark of passion, the return to wands. As Crowley said, the Ten of Pentacles (Skulls here) is the end of the minor arcana cycle, it all regenerates and starts all over again with the Ace of Wands. The same way that the cycle of the Major Arcana begins again with the Fool after reaching the World. The Ten of Skulls represents Malkuth, the bottom of the Tree of Life. She has reached the most dense form of manifestation in the physical realm.
There are roots growing all around the throne where she sits. She is grounded but she doesn't want to become taken over by the roots, trapped in stagnation. That's why it's important for her to answer the call of the red roses - inspiration!
The idea of growing through cycles makes me think of the song "Lateralus" by Tool. "Spiral out - keep going".
This is a message for me to never become too satisfied with where I'm at in all areas of my life. I should be grateful for all that I have but always be reaching for more. The true gratitude that I feel is the first ingredient in the Law of Attraction and necessary for manifesting more!
