Does it have to be a special roller? I thought most, if not all, rollers would do the same job.

....it's a roller that leaves a "bark effect" pattern....

Oh ok, I hadn't heard about that.
Have you looked online Lady? Maybe some shops still have old stocks of it.

Would one of these do the job?

You could wrap a cloth unevenly around your roller. Try it out first and adjust till you get the right effect.

Rather expensive though!

Here's another even more expensive one

Try stripping the pile off a cheap roller, then wrap some thick elastic bands around the circumference of the roller. I take it you've done artexing in the past?
