Her height did surprise me a little, but I find that really cool. Rose is either the 2nd tallest or the tallest Crystal Gem member now.

 It was surprising to see Rose Quartz look like a pregnant human woman because I wasn’t certain how she would look like when “constructing” Steven. I had so many questions forming when I was watching the episode at that part like: It makes me wonder how Rose and Greg combined their respective physical attributes if Rose can’t reproduce like human women. It makes me ‘really’ wonder a lot more than before if Rose is either female or genderless (I wish we could an answer for that soon.). Makes me really, really, 'curious' since gems can’t reproduce offspring (and only 1 offspring per gem at that) without giving up their own physical form and that gems who look ‘female’ actually look pregnant like females before they’re about to lose their physical form, what exactly happens to “male-looking” gems if they even exist, at all?

Gems can metaphoricaly make themselves "female" by making female reproductive organs, and Gems can't share the same gemstone so Rose would have to retreat to the rose quartz gem to let Steven form, so I guess that answers your question.

I don’t know if that answers my questions, but it is a possibility. The whole “gender” conundrum is still apparent because this wiki can’t even decide whether the gems are either female, sexless, genderless, or none and if gems can give themselves a ‘gender’ if they didn’t have one initially because the show’s creators haven’t really been too open in revealing that information, yet.
