Some confusion here I thought your rose was actually flowering at the moment?
Sorry, my mistake, I did not mention that these are older photos from the previous year. Its last flowers did not open up due to colder weather arrived around November (?), so it is not flowering at the moment. We have -8 °C here during the nights, and plus +1 or +2 °C is the max temperature.
I like the rose, I just don't know what to expect (big/small shrub, climbing).
@Novalus some plant nurseries on the continent have licenses with DA to order and sell their roses direct rather than us having to order online and pay all the post and packaging. That is also almost impossible since Brexit as plants sourced in the UK now have tohave phytosanitary certificates.
Once a given rose has lost its Plant Breeder's Rights, these nurseries can than go on and propagate this stock and sell it without fees to DA, hence, I think, @Marlorena's question about where you are and where you bought the rose. It may be your nursery just mislabelled the rose and may be able to identify it from other stock.

Ive got bring me sunshine, it has the same limey green foliage yours does too, and the weather apparently impacted apricot tones this year as most of us didnt get those, it was just yellow. Im also voting its that, but email DA to be sure.
There really isn't enough to go on with just one single bloom, which may not be typical of a mature plant.. and we have no information regarding scent or lack of, or how thorny..
My first impression was 'Molineux'.. because of the foliage but others to consider are 'Golden Celebration'.. 'Roald Dahl'.. and possibly 'Grace'.
It can't be Bring Me Sunshine as it's not sold in the E.U.. It may be available later in the year ..
I asked David Austin Roses, here is what they wrote:
[...] From looking at the image, we can of course determine that this isn't Tess of the d'Urbervilles. However, I am unsure whether this is actually one of our roses. It looks a lot like our new variety 'Bring Me Sunshine', but I wouldn't be confident that this is the variety as we don't currently supply that variety to Europe. In this case, I would think it isn't one of our varieties, so you may need to take a photograph to the nursery you purchased it from. [...]
Then I asked if it is still possible that a mistake was made before shipping to Hungary (if that is how it works), and it is really a 'Bring me Sunshine', and they wrote:
[...] Our wholesale nurseries in Europe do sometimes have different varieties available compared to what we currently have on our website so it may be the Bring Me Sunshine however we do also have a lot of yellow shrub roses which look similar. [...]
I suppose that's it for now, thank you all for your help!
Did you ask the nursery who supplied it for a replacement Tess of the d'Urbervilles ?
When this rose flowers this year and plant grows, we might be able to give better guess on what it is. The photos in original post seem to be like first flowers from a young plant and not showing a proper form and colour. My young Golden Celebration looked like this, the year it was planted, light green leaves and smaller flowers but later it developed more character.

I have contacted them, sent a mail with pictures, mainly for identification. They didn't reply, and I didn't push it. This was supposed to be the last instance of the rose I wanted, so they couldn't replace it anyway, and I did not want to give it back. I liked the flowers (especially after my wife said they are nice), my first disappointment faded away, and there is still space for roses - I have started gardening only recently.
I will come back with new pictures, once the plant shows a new face!
Yes it is lovely flower. Only difference the identification will make is, where you have planted it. Tess is short climber and would have needed support. This one may or may not be climber.

Indeed, so it is still in a pot. I wonder if it would worth uploading a picture of the whole plant, or there is no chance to tell if it wanted to climb or not. I have the impression that it didn't.
And instead of Tess of the d'Urbervilles I might better plant a climber rose that does better in partial shade, a tall spruce gives shade till around noon. Like James Galway or Gertrude Jekyll? Or The Pilgrim. I don't insist on the red color. This is getting off topic though.
