They're not the same thing. "Rock doves" are pigeons of the sort that are commonly seen in cities pretty much around the world. They're often considered to be pests. Mourning Doves are one of the doves native to North America and are generally not a problem. If you want to feed them, they'll eat seed scattered on the ground or on a flat, open platform feeder.
