Good question! First, is there really an 'Alinka' by Kordes? What is found in Eastern Europe and Japan looks very much like Alinka (Redgold) by Dickson. Both Dickson's 'Alinka' and Kordes' 'Perfect Moment' have blooms of very similar colouring. While the first is declared as a Floribunda, and is probably a little shorter than the the Hybrid Tea of Kordes, the differences do not seem significant. The most significant difference seems to be bloom size: Alinka=Redgold seem sto have blooms of 6-7,5 cm in diameter, while 'Perfect Moment' is 10-11 cm.

thank you so much jedmar for your cordial reply. But size of bloom may differ in different potting media, environment, sunlinght & nutrition. A same variety can give larger & smaller bloom on different condition. So, it will be hard to distinguish variety only by bloom size. Is there any other parameters to differentiate them?? Like petal count, thorn, leaf pattern or anything else.

I agree, but that is as much which is evident from the references, as I do not have these two roses.

Redgold is not a very large plant regardless of climate or soil. It's, on average, about 10% smaller relative to Sunsprite. It grows like a very small grandiflora in plant architecture.
Perfect Moment, on the other hand, is bolt upright and somewhat medium-tall. A classic HT.
Further, they have a different type of blending and major disease proneness.
Perfect Moment blends in a fairy even manner, with a definitive margin. Redgold is far more phototropic, where the blending is very sun-dependent and thus uneven.
Perfect Moment is fairly susceptible to powdery mildew, and Redgold is quite susceptible to black spot.
As per memory, Perfect Moment has more round petals.
