'Celestial' has more petals than the roses shown, as does that other pink alba, 'Amelia'. The foliage does have the alba shape, rounded, tooothed oval leaflets, but not the flat, matte surface. I would be inclined to think the pictured rose is a Damask, or possibly the alba/Damask hybrid, Belle Amour. In my yard 'Belle Amour' shows a salmony undertone in the color, but the light in Orkney may be different.
It might be the Damask 'Celsiana', which is often confused with 'Celestial'. 'Celsiana' throws out canes upwards of 10-15', ought IMHO to be considered a rambler, but the prevailing wind in Orkney might retard growth somewhat.

This rose was actually found at Holy Trinity Church, in Hamilton Parish, not at the Cathedral of the Most Holy Trinity, in the city of Hamilton. They are completely different places, despite the closeness of the names of both the churches and their locations.

This rose was found by members of the Bermuda Rose Society, growing on an (apparently anonymous) child's grave at Holy Trinity Church, Hamilton Parish, Bermuda, many years ago. I don't know exactly when. The BRS took cuttings and rooted them. When they returned for more cuttings, they found that the plant had been removed or destroyed (cause unknown). So the rose only existed in their propagation area. It has been put back on the original grave site at least twice (see photos I have posted here), but as of March 2024, it was again missing from that site. We'll hope the BRS will again plant the rose on its discovery site.
