Rose (278) and Wolstenholme (285) combined for a four-round aggregate of 563 - five strokes behind Japan's Kentaro Yonekura and Mitsunori Kaneko, whose 18-under-par total was a tournament record, and four adrift of Venezuela.
Ireland's Jody Fanagan and Ken Kearney came fourth, but Scotland's Sam Cairns and Hugh Macdonald finished in 16th position - one place ahead of the Welsh pair of Jamie Donaldson and Rhodri Price.
Rose's 10-under-par total of 278 gave him a share of second place with Wilfredo Morales, of Puerto Rico, and Canada's John Drewery in the individual event, which was won by Yonekura with a 13-under tally of 275.
