According to the label of the rose in Roseto Botanico “Carla Fineschi” and to Rolando Zandri, who collaborated with Pironti in breeding his roses, the correct name should be Geffel. The name is the fusion of the parents’ names ( GIOIA X EIFFEL TOWER ). The name Gessel reported in Encyclopedia of Rose Science (2000) and in Modern Roses 11 (2003) was copied from a typo present in the Catalogue of the Roseto (2000).
