Sitecore Rocks is not supported (and afaik, never was supported) on Visual Studio 2012, currently the minimum version Sitecore Rocks integrates with is Visual Studio 2015:

Sitecore Rocks integrates directly with Microsoft Visual Studio 2015 and 2017

You can download the plugin for VS 2015/2017 from the Visual Studio Marketplace

Sitecore Rocks no longer supports Visual Studio 2013 as Microsoft has not made the Visual Studio 2013 SDK available on NuGet.

An older version for VS2013 used to be available from AppVeyor, but not that due to their Retention Policy anything older than 6 months is no longer available. It is available on Github though.

In order to use Sitecore Rocks, you will need to upgrade to VS2013 at a minimum, but suggest moving up to VS2017.
