Sure, but you can make one, right? You've already got the $dbh. Just make
a new Rose::DB-derived object and shove the $dbh in there :) If you do this
a lot, you can make a helper function for it:
$db = make_me_a_db_from($dbh);
or even wrap the Manager methods with custom versions that do this for you
and then call through to the real versions.

Undocumented! Beware! Although that probably does work for you, the
Manager needs a db some way or another. So while it will use your $dbh, it
will also call YourObjectClass->init_db to get a Rose::DB-derived object to
use.
Remember, Rose::DB does more than just provide the $dbh. It also
encapsulates database-specific behavior. So your naughty, undocumented
example code above relies on YourObjectClass->init_db returning a db object
whose driver is the same as your $dbh.
When you do it the documented, supported way, you're guaranteed that they'll
match because trying to inject a $dbh into a Rose::DB-derived object will
cause a fatal error if the drivers don't match.
