Ruby is now demonstrating the higher tiers of what her semblance can achieve. Similar to Weiss having two almost completely different abilities in terms of summoning and general glyphs, Ruby could now be showing speed and what Spirit has speculated, some form of transformation/intangibilty by literally turning into rose petals. Not only that, but remember that the Schnee Semblance is hereditary. They've had generations and the cumulative lives of all their family members to be able to perfect and master their Semblance. Other people with non-hereditary Semblances on the other hand only have their own lifetimes to learn its limits and capabilities.
