Mastering the skill of landing

I am a pretty newbie student pilot. At this moment I have 20 hours flown.. They are all on Cessna 172 , I have flown a few solo flights already , but I haven't got stable landing skills, I bounce or flare too late often , because I am afraid to flare too high, and then I approach ground too fast.. And the question is - How can I know that it is the right moment to flare? And how important is to round out before flare? And one more thing - for a Cessna 172 Vref is around 65 kts ... At which point of the landing I can forget about the airspeed? Is it at the moment when I start slowing down descent? What else can you suggest me for mastering the landing?
