I am doing a tiered stacked cake and the birthday girl wants roses cascading down the side. I have never done this before, what is the best way to do this?

Are you doing roses in buttercream, gumpaste or fondant?
If you're doing them in buttercream,there is a tutorial on this website, i cant find it right now, but basically you put them on with toothpicks.
If you're doing them in fondant or gumpaste, you can stick them to the sides of the cake with melted fondant.

I am doing them in BC. I have seen the tutorial, but they are doing them on a stick if I remember correctly. I tried that once....it wasn't pretty 
Generally, I do them on a nail, with no wax paper. I have done them with wax paper under them before. Maybe I should do that and freeze them?

If you freeze them with wax paper, then they should stick to the sides with a bit of soft buttercream. I just remembered i did this about 6 or so years ago when my aunty got married. Sadly i dont have a picture of the cake : (

I want to make a mud cake for a wedding with a 30 cm (12 inch) tin but I don't know how much ingredients to use for such a large cake. Any ideas?

What is the size that your base recipe fits in.
Say it fits in an 8 inch pan, fill that pan with water up to the mark that your recipe goes to. Then pour the water in to your 12 inch pan, repeat until your 12inch pan is filled to the same level of your 8 inch pan. However many times you've filled the pan, is how many times you've got to multiply the recipe.
hope this helps
