Mrs. Skinner received a dozen yellow roses (12 roses) as an anniversary gift, and 4 of these roses bloomed on the first day. 

To find the fraction that represents the roses that still need to bloom, we can follow these steps:

1. **Total number of roses**: 12
2. **Roses that bloomed**: 4

Now, to find the number of roses that still need to bloom, subtract the number of roses that bloomed from the total:

\[
\text{Roses that still need to bloom} = 12 - 4 = 8
\]

Next, we find the fraction of roses that still need to bloom:

\[
\text{Fraction of roses that still need to bloom} = \frac{\text{Roses that still need to bloom}}{\text{Total number of roses}} = \frac{8}{12}
\]

This fraction can be simplified by dividing both the numerator and the denominator by their greatest common divisor (4):

\[
\frac{8}{12} = \frac{8 \div 4}{12 \div 4} = \frac{2}{3}
\]

### Answer:
The fraction of the roses that still need to bloom is **\(\frac{2}{3}\)**.
