I don't know. I don't feel that Gwen is Rose. Rose is a natural wanderer, like the Doctor. She is in awe of the wonders of the universe. I rewatched a Season 1 episode where the Doctor tempts rose with descriptions of distant supernovas... you can feel her wanderlust.
Gwen isn't like that. She finds aliens amazing, but she's grounded. She has a live-in. She can *handle* alien technology and a larger world than Earth, but she isn't a natural wanderer.
They are both the "hearts" of their respective shows. We feel through them, they are our doorways to the fantastical (us lowly, Earth-and-time-bound humans). So, yes, they are similar. They both care about people and bring that humanistic approach to the situations that they find themselves in. But they aren't the same in many respects and I'm sure they will become more and more removed from each other as time goes on.
