Only make sure to use it only in the case when casting is impossible
There are many strategic uses of the rook, so much so that somebody should write a book about it 📚. It takes time to learn how to play the rook the right way, so start with the basics:
The best place to start is an open or semi-open file. A common move would be to put the rook on the center files such as d1 and e1, so that they protect the center pawns and allow the other pieces to perform other tasks.
From d1 and e1, they could also be lifted to d2 and e2 to protect c2 and f2. They could also be lifted to further up the board for attacking moves.
Those are a few basics to keep in mind.

Then continue developing knight and bishop on queens side and queen.
But rooks should not be used in the beginning.

Wow! Brilliant example.
Care to show us how Black is winning after 4.Rxe5+? We are too dumb to find out.
You missed the point. I was showing how bringing the rook out on a flank was a bad idea, it was an example i created in 15 seconds.

People there are no tips. It is just study work and better play.. NO TIPS
I'm surprised no one mentioned that two rooks on the seventh rank for White (or second rank for Black) frequently causes havoc, but I am sure this is a tip to know.
I guess Darwin was wrong after all.
Team Work
This is the real guideline you're looking for. How are the pieces supporting and helping each other out?
It's just the nature of chess that the rooks are usually the last pieces to come into play. The most important thing is to not forget to get them into play! In a lot of amateur games, at least one of the loser's rooks will be sitting unused on its original square.
Go over the games of great players like Fischer and Kasparov and Carlsen (among others!) and try and take notice of how and when they get their rooks into the game. You will learn a hell of a lot of chess that way
