That's theoretically possible, but the problem is that bush types don't produce enough sugar.  You need the higher leaf to fruit ratio of a vine to get sweet melons.  Summer squash work on bushes because they don't have to be sweet, but the sweetest winter squash have to grow on vines.

That would be good for me, since I can't grow peaches here.
Personally, I'm holding out for a watermelon that grows just like a 
zucchini.
