Thanks Virginia. Ref added. A few different synonyms in the references. Not sure what to add for the moment.

I can't imagine that you'll want another, but 'Annals of Horticulture' (vol. 4, 1849, p.464) has a brief mention (no description) of a Noisette that flowers in bunches called... yes, 'André Selle'. I see no other online rose mentions using that spelling, so I do think it's a typo.
There is a commune in France called Audreselles, just a bit north of Boulogne-sur-Mer. There are historical references to the area (or a town in the area, maybe?) sometimes being called Andreselles. It's common enough in French and English sources that I do think it's an alternate spelling, as sometimes happens with old place names. I have no idea if it might be the inspiration for the Noisette's name, however...
