I'm not really familiar with rosegarden but I have managed to get muse
to work recording midi events. 

What do you see in the "Manage MIDI Devices" window? Does Rosegarden see
your midi devices? I just managed to record some midi but coming from
the "vkeybd" virtual keybard (I don't have a midi interface in this
computer). You could try that first to see if the problem is with your
soundcard. 

Make sure that in "Settings" "Configure Rosegarden" "Sequencer"
"Recording" you see the input device.

It is not yet "very easy"...
