You could plant ground cover in between the rocks. It will grow towards the water and over the rocks. I have slate around my pond with different types of ground cover planted.

Mix your rocks in size, large and small, it will make it look more natural, you may want to bury some of the large ones, on the outside edge of the liner, rule of thumb is 1/3 showing, I do around 1/2.
