What rock floats on water?
Floating rocks: pumice. Non-floating rocks: all but pumice. Pumice can float on water because its density is so low, due to trapped bubbles of air which formed during its solidification from lava.

Are all igneous rocks rough?
Any igneous rock, if ground down to a smooth face and polished, will be smooth. Any igneous rock, if cut, will display a jagged edge. There is the potential for any igneous rock to be smooth or rough. A pumice may be an exception, but pumice isn't all igneous rocks. Most igneous rocks are not vesicular. Pumice will always be rough. Obsidian is naturally smooth, though not perfect. It has conchoidal fracture, so it may show a smooth face, but this is not always the case. Any rock that has been tossed in a river or on a beach for a few thousand years will be pretty smooth, no matter what it is (except pumice). A rock fresh from the quarry will nearly always be jagged and rough. Due to the crystalline texture of igneous rocks, most will naturally fracture in a way that leaves a rough face, if that is what you meant.
