Opinions?

This flower bed in front of our house had large rocks sitting on the mulch when we moved into the house. Hubby took the rocks out a couple of weeks ago and planted our rhododendrons from the old place. Yesterday a lady I had never met rang my doorbell to tell me that she wished we hadn't gotten rid of the rocks. She likes the rocks better than the plants. Apparently, she likes the rocks so much more that she thought she should come to the door to tell me. So, opinions? Rocks or rhododendrons?
