Simply put, NO. She can't be forgiven because in the end she did more harm than good.

The Cluster coming to existence was her fault. All those shattered Gems, shattered minds, force-fusion in order to being a planet destroying geo-weapon.

The Human zoo was her fault, while it's a paradise for the humans there it was still a prison where these humans were pampered and shelter never knowing of the real existence or pain.

The Rose Quartzes who are bubbled and are being threatened with shattering is all her fault. Did she even think that those ACTUAL ROSE QUARTZES, who were doing their job for THEIR Diamond, HER, wouldn't suffer consequences?

Jasper's corruption and emotional instability was her fault!

Rose, hurt more people and Gems than she helped. She forced Pearl to keep her secret and couldn't even let Steven know causing him to feel an insane amount of grief and betrayal and fear. Steven turned himself in for nothing! Sapphire, knowing the cause of her Diamond's depression was alive all the time, was for nothing! The entire rebellion was for nothing. It failed because the Diamonds didn't leave because they were scared, they let out one more attack in the hopes of damaging Rose's remaining forces. The made the Cluster for revenge.

Rose doesn't deserve forgiveness. She's immature, selfish, manipulative of her friends and allies, doesn't think through any of her actions, and is a coward who couldn't tell her mothers/sisters, Blue and Yellow Diamond, no. She couldn't say anything like "I want this planet to thrive", "I love the organic life". Would they listen? Probably not, but that should've been when she rebelled. Earth as a planet, living and growing in organic life, meant more to her than Earth as a colony, a status of Homeworld. She could even lead the Gems in her court to break their roles on Homeworld and live on the Earth peacefully with human. She could tell them that her Pearl will not be just a toy but a soldier, a thinker, a rebel like herself.

That would send a bigger message to Blue and Yellow, that she wasn't going to stand for what's expected of Homeworld, that she won't let the inhabitance lose their home planet. That Gems and organic life can coexist together.

But she didn't. She was a scared and short-sighted little girl.
