The most incredible rose

Hello gardeners!
This rose is growing just yards from the coast on the Fife Coastal path here in Scotland. It is continuously receiving strong, salty wind gales. It's not a particularly gentle environment, but it doesn't seem to mind.
Any suggestions as to the variety? I live not far away and my roses always look like they have taken a beating due to the strong winds here. Any advice as to what this rose might be, or others that are incredibly tough very much appreciated.
Have a great week! 🌹

    You'll have to stop and introduce yourself (from six feet away, of course) and ask for some cuttings.  No idea the variety, but it's beautiful.

    I thought Dublin Bay was a bit brighter red. It could be Etoile de Holland.

    My DB is that colour. Yours is in just the right place. Mine isn't😕 . It's impossible to train over a pergola. Throws up 20ft branches practically overnight and practically impossible to bend. If I do succeed, a pigeon will use it as a perch and snap it.
