I would theorize that Rose's rebellion occurred as a piece in a much larger gem civil war. I recall Peridot saying that she didn't expect to find gems on this planet. This implies that home world was sending agents like Peridot to multiple planets and that they expected encounter other gems. A broader civil war would help explain them taking so long to return and only sending a small force.
