Usage Note
Roule as a standalone noun is uncommon in standard French; the more usual form is rouleau (roll, roller). In everyday use, learners are more likely to encounter rouleau de papier toilette (toilet roll) or rouleau à pâtisserie (rolling pin). The seed POS 'noun' is retained here, though the word's most common appearance is as a conjugated form of rouler ('to roll').
