What sort of fragrance does it have?

It has no frangrance at a first glace. But I stuck my nose right into the petals and noticed a light perfume. In terms of perfumes I would call it feminine and summerly ;) ... but all in all it is not a noteworthy feature.

Have a nice day.

So it's not what I thought it was then. On Heybeli Island in Istanbul
there is (was?) a patch of roses that either had escaped into the wild
or else were once part of the garden of a vanished Ottoman-period
mansion. Their ancestors must have been what are called "yediveren" in
Turkish (prolific, everblooming, semperflorens) roses and though their
blossoms were not much to look at, their fragrance was intoxicating.
Efforts to propagate them elsewhere failed.

Have a nice day.

Likewise.

What you are referring to are most probably Damascene roses. They are widely cultivated in Bulgaria now as base material for oils and perfumes.
