The word 'rolling' is the present participle, present tense of the verb 'to roll'. The present participle is also a gerund, a verb form that functions as a noun, and an adjective. Examples:

Verb: A crew was rolling the paving to a smooth surface.

Noun: When the rolling was completed, the next crew painted the lines.

Adjective: As Jim watched the men work he said he wanted to run a big rolling machine when he grew up.
