Explanation:

Context is very crucial to determine the meaning of a sentence as it connects and develops a relationship between two ideas that assist to convey the desired point of view to the readers and communicate the idea more clearly and effectively to the readers. Similarly, the word 'corsage' originally stands for a small bouquet of flowers attached to the bodice of a woman's dress. But in the given context, it would best connotate the meaning "decorated". As the bouquet of flowers decorates the dress, similarly cartwheel is "corsaged"(decorated) by velvet roses.
