The Crystal Gems don't seem to exhibit any familiarity or kinship with the gems they bubble (and the only one we've seen come back, Lapis, neither knew them nor cared about the Earth), and them being former enemy forces would explain why GAP looked so disturbed when Steven said the mirror was "like a person". Good logic. But if the monsters are enemy gems, why was Rose trying to heal them? They're other gems, they're like family, I'm sure Rose wanted to help them get out of their corrupted state, probably caused by the war even though they were "enemies" in the battlefield.

Yeah, Rose's reputation for loving pretty much everything makes it highly likely that she would take pity on her enemies. It's a trait that was reflected in Steven's decision to reason with and heal Lapis, who was an enemy, instead of fighting her.
