Rolling is a process in physiology where a white blood cell connects with endothelium cells via complementary surface adhesion molecules (selectins), rolling along it like a tumbleweed. A result of this can be the standstill of the white blood cell against the endothelium (referred to as tight binding), allowing for diapedesis to start.
