Again and again I'm reminded of in the Bleach manga how Ichigo remembered his mother as being the center of his family, that she was the sun to them around which they revolved. I can easily see this being similarly applied to Rose and the Gems. In her warmth, love, compassion and devout protection of life is the common denominator able to bring together such different personalities to work cooperatively.

Meanwhile it is always interesting to watch Lion, clearly some extension of Rose, as he interacts with Steven. Giving him what he needs as needed, but not being overly protective about it. He may have been yawning and relaxing over at the edge, but I'm sure if Steven was in serious risk of falling, he would have come in to save him.
