The Gardener's Magazine, 1 August 1829, p. 378] ....we were shown round the garden by Madame Savoureux, a very handsome neatly dressed woman of twenty-five, perfectly acquainted with the nursery business, and competent, as she informed us, to tell the name and price of every plant, and complete any transaction respecting them, without reference to her husband. The greatest part of the garden is occupied by standard roses, most of which she buds herself; and she explained the difference between budding
à l'oeil poussant, which is budding in June and July, and three weeks afterwards shortening the stock to within an inch or two of the bud, which causes it to push; and budding
à l'oeil dormant, which is done with roses in August and September, and with fruit trees also at these seasons, and the stock not being shortened till the following spring, the bud does not push till that season. This lady, having children, passes the greater part of her time in the garden, and chiefly among the rose trees...
