It seems you misunderstood my question. I didn’t ask you what this was if it wasn’t a reference, I was asking rhetorically what a reference is if this isn’t, and thus making my point – an allusion is, according to Merriam-Websters Dictionary, “an implied or indirect reference especially in literature”. What I mean is, why would they put a rose in Mabels hands (just as Briar-Rose has) inside a tower (just like Briar-Rose) while she seems to be waiting to be rescued (just like Briar-Rose), when they easily could have made the scene something else entirely, if not to reference the probably world known movie “Sleeping Beauty”?
