No, it does not. Rose is flower tematic, but not that flower tematic.

Also, fusion weapons incorporate properties and shapes from the ones who formed them. The one who changed the most of all was Opal's bow, and it was a logical change. The others retain basical characteristics of the original weapon. With the cannon you are destroying both the purpose of the shield and of the spear.

In addition, the powers on which you base the functionality of the cannon are not the main characteristic of the weapons but additional capabilities of them. In fact, the bubbles are not even a capability of the shield but rather a Gem power which Steven (and supposedly, Rose) masters really well.

And, the last but no the least, all the Gem weapons showed in the show are not high-tech or fire weapons, but rather designed for hand-on-hand combat.

On balance, RQ's weapon cannot be a cannon because it does not suit the show's style, it is not coherent with the weapons that would form it and it is based in minor characteristics of them.

P.D.: If something needs correction, I forgot something or I have to add something, it'll be done tomorrow.
