Rose ID - Damascus?

Hello, bought these roses in Kuwait. Any fragrant rose is called Mohammadi rose, regardless of its true nature so going to need some help to know whether they'll survive the summer or what to do if they go dormant. I'm really a beginner in gardening so I apologize If I'm dense.

This rose is supposedly from Holland. Cannot smell any fragrance but others tell me they can. Largish flowers? Its from a small plant so cannot really tell if its a bush or climber but Im guessing a bush. Nasty thorns, short and straight

This is apparently a Mohammadi rose. Small flowers that did not open until cut. Sepals have an interesting shape. Has a fragrance exactly like rosewater but only after I've cut it. Petals have become dark velvet red. Somewhat nasty thorns

Another Mohammadi rose. Largish flower. Cannot detect fragrance but others can. Very large hooked thorns
All of these flowers were grown in Kuwait so they should be able to handle the heat and mild winters.

Thank you
