No different than mounding it directly to the ceiling,
but it'll look poxy!

Your only enemy is if you run into a Joist/Timber for the ceiling rose, Can you have a look? Bungalow?

I see no reason why not, provided no strain on the wiring. Would it be better though to remove the ceiling rose and install the light fitting in the way it was designed to be installed?
