Gardening advice

Valeriya • PCOS.... miscarried 1 pregnancy and momma to a baby boy 💙

I just had a baby and we wanted something low maintenance that weeds wouldn’t go through. Another group said it’s really stark and that the rocks will burn any plants I try to grow…. Would it look weird when we plant rose bushes and add some mulch around it like make a circle with the mulch and then have the rocks accenting each circle? Our house is brown and tan and I wanted the flower bed to lighten up our house.
