The reveal has rendered you unable to completely think about this properly and has made you mix things up. XD

No, it's not that Rose was Pink Diamond, Pink Diamond was Rose. Rose Quartz never even existed. Pink Diamond shapeshifted into Rose then when she was "shattered" she made her form permanently stay in the Rose Quartz form. At first Pink Diamond did want a colony but then she discovered humans and grew sympathetic towards the lives that would be lost. Pink was scared that the Diamonds wouldn't just allow her to stop so she created the "terrifyingly powerful rebel Rose Quartz" to convince them to let her give the CGs the Earth. When that didn't work she figured that, since Blue and Yellow didn't seem to care about her, if Rose "shattered" her then the Diamonds would see her as too powerful for Homeworld to fight.
