- 1894, Edward Clodd, Concerning a Pilgrimage to the Grave of Edward FitzGerald, page 8:
  The hedges, in their tangle of sweetbriar and sloebush and bramble, which fringe the well-kept highways and leafy lanes, lead past sleepy little towns to scattered groups of cottages, -- splashes and dots of red amidst festoons of green, -- some on hilly ground where the square flint-church tower breaks the skyline; some by "dewy pastures," or nestling in dells -- native scenes which Gainsborough and Constable painted; villages where a fair-haired, open-faced peasantry greet one in a dialect whose every sentence ends in a rising note, and betrays the source of the nasal twang which the Puritans carried to the New World.
- 1995, Walter Grünzweig, Constructing the German Walt Whitman, →ISBN, page 98:
  Now raspberries grow above me, On a rocking twig of a sloebush a robin chirps.
- 1995, John Quinn, Generations of the Moon, page 6:
  Rose, leaning across the top of a sloebush, maintained her balance with some difficulty and gradually eased herself back to an upright position before turning to the girl.
