Best option to cover beds (mulch/pebble?)

Hello,
I was looking for some advice on how best to cover our front garden,
which is just beds with a couple of rose bushes. There are no bedding
plants as we don't have time to maintain them really.
I was thinking of just covering the beds with weed control material,
and putting down some mulch to cover the area. The garden is flat, and
I was worried about the mulch bark chippings blowing away. Is this
likely? Alternative is to use something like pebbles or similar.
We don't really mind that much how it looks (it is a rented house and
the landlord is letting us doing it and paying for it), just that it's
easily maintainable.
Thank you very much

Just a comment. Noticed roses that I've seen usually are more likely
develop some kind of leaf disease/deterioration if mulch is used around it.
Careful with the irrigation if you choose this route.
