Here are the instructions for Photoshop:

Select the Round Rectangle Tool



Set your radius for the corner curve. I've set mine to 12px



Draw your rounded corner box. I've renamed my shaper layer.



Now open the 'Styles' palette. I've got loads in mine. Select one, making sure your layer with the shape on is still highlighted.



Now on the Layer palette, your rounded corner shape with have style properties. You can click on these and edit to get the right visual design. I've unchecked the Styles I applied early and enabled two new ones — the Color Overlay and most importantly the Stroke property which gives me a border.

I would save this as a 'New Style' which I could apply to other rounded boxes.



Finished result

If you only want a plain border, choose a thickness and plain:
