Lasting quality of Bishop's Children flowers

A catalog I have states that the flowers of this seed grown dahlia lasts on the plant 3-4 weeks. Any experience to substaniate this? My seed sown bedding/container types last less than a week, so I was suspicious and questioning of this provider's statement of merit. What do you all know or think about this subject?

RE: Lasting quality of Bishop's Children flowers

Bishop's Children is a line of dahlias developed by one of the big seed producers. They were developed from an old time dahlia variety called "The Bishop of Llandolf" (spelling?) It was unusual in that the it had dark foliage and stems. The breeder found that the seeds from it and the succeeding generations were quite pretty in the garden. The flowers do not keep in bouquets any longer than other dahlias.
