Jesus never said pray the rosary. The Church has come up with the prayer of the rosary to the virgin Mary.

Roman Catholic AnswerThe Rosary recalls important events in the life of Our Blessed Lord, He didn't say the Rosary, He lived it. Our Blessed Lord sent His Mother to earth to give us the form of the Rosary that we have today, she appeared to St. Dominic, who founded the Dominican Order, and gave him the Rosary in order to convert the heretics that he was preaching to. As the rosary is primarily mental prayer on the Mysteries (the events in the life of Our Blessed Lord, and His Mother) it is a wonderful way to learn basic prayer. You should learn it well, and stick with it your whole life.
