I’ll try and remember to watch you video early tomorrow morning Fire, when my internet can cope with such things (before my adopted countrymen get up and hog all the bandwidth!).
@Athelas I can’t think of a specific red one offhand, I guess you need a climber with stiff, upright stems that is more or less self-supporting. Suitable for a pillar or obelisk, but not one that you need to wrap or bend the canes to horizontal to get it to flower. Warm Welcome was like that for me, stiff, straight up, flowered from top to bottom, but orange.

@Fire, thanks for sharing your garden video. Such a beautiful and lovely place you have created. There are so many different plants and interesting things to look at.
@Athelas I wouldn't go for a climber there if you only want it to fit into that gap and not grow over the window or on the shed. But there aren't many shrub roses that would be tall enough. Then, the combination of red and BS-resistant is hard on its own. 'Thomas a Becket' (more pink than red) or 'Tess of d'Ubervilles' would give you the contrast and height but not BS-resistance. 'Warm Welcome' as Nolllie said, fits the height and health but is orange. 'Westerland' (also orange) would work too, I think. You could maybe try something like 'Rambling Rosie' if you don't mind the rambler look.
"The combination of red and BS-resistant is hard on its own."
Yes, @Athelas I'm not sure what to suggest. I don't know of something very floriferous, healthy and red. They weren't my priorities when planting - though they would be now. I've been eyeing Flanders. It is shade tolerant, very healthy, but quite compact. As mentioned, maybe Rambling Rosie could work. It's a small climber. I'm eyeing that too.
Something red, healthy, self supporting and tall is abutilon Nabob (featured in my vid). I'm not sure where you are based, but if you have mild winters it would be fine and it would enjoy that sheltered spot. It sailed through the last frosty London winter and the snow. It didn't even blink. It can be a shrub or more of a tree - depending on what you want. You can prune out the leader to create a shrub. Evergreen, it flowers more or less constantly from May to the frosts. The flowers die off very well, just drying and then falling off. Paddock says hardy to -5 but I suspect it could handle more in a sheltered spot.
Duh, hits head @Athelas - the rose I’m considering to replace my sadly deceased WW is Crimson Siluetta, a short red climber from Kordes, who have a good reputation for disease resistance. I think you could grow that up a narrow trellis. Not much fragrance but in the corner there that’s probably not so important. Or Rambling Rosie as edhelka suggests.

...nice window, unusual box bay shape.. I don't think I've seen one like that before except on my own property which is white.. the problem with planting a thorny rose there is access to cleaning the panes on the left side... I notice yours also seems to act like a mirror..
...I think I would plant a Fuchsia riccartonii, which is hardy, upright to 6 feet and with strong red tepals, the corolla is purple but overall effect is red.. easily trimmed width..
..if you still want a red rose that climbs with support there are several I know of, but they will need a framework and most roses will get blackspot from midsummer..
...if you want something shorter.. 'Lovestruck' to about 4 or 5 feet might appeal..
