The description of this rose indicates that it is both " short" and "4' to 6' " in height. I can't reconcile those two phrases in my mind. Can someone explain this conundrum?

That's a curly one. The "short" answer is that it probably came from the 1936 reference.
Modern references are quoting 4' and I think it is better to have an actual measurement than a vague short/tall description. That is - if there is no doubt about the veracity of the rose in commerce. Hoping there is not, I will delete the word "short".

It's a common conundrum for poly-teas. I went through this with Leonie Lamesch. It was short and cute for many years, like the description I bought it for (this was before HMF days). but at full maturity, the tea-like basals come up and the plant is suddenly a 6' rose that loathes to have those monster basals pruned. This can be seen with a few other poly-teas as well.
They also hate being moved when they are at maturity. At least in my experience.

Isn't this identical to Forkasu Porkasu also by Kordes?

Nope -- completely different rose. But Kordes is famous for re-using names.
