laminated / rose-tree (?) / walnut (tree)


Explanation:
There might be another option. If your context are different surfaces of furniture, then "lan" could be a typo for "lam(iniert)", which means laminated. The other two expressions would then be the surfaces the laminate would be available in, rose-tree or walnut. Keep in mind that when talking about surfaces/veneer, it is only refered to as walnut, not as walnut tree.
