As I understand it, the usual teaching is to prune spring-flowerers (if at all) after flowering, rather than in winter.

My understanding from Graham Stuart Thomas is that the spring flowerers actually can be pruned in winter. It condenses the display and improves the flower quality, but only up to a certain point. It looks like Lasour really shows his/her plants who the daddy/mommy is in winter.

It will be interesting to hear what Lasour's practice is.
I keep learning about roses.

I'm not very sophisticated about rose anatomy, but with the big clusters of flowers, great size of plant, shinier leaves in comparison to other damasks, and location where it's partly naturalized in Iran, doesn't this seem like a hybrid with R. moschata? Are there any botanical characteristics which provide a firm conclusion for or against?

Kew lists R. fedtschenkoana as a synonym of R. webbiana on their website

Yes. but that seems to be considered controversial by other botanists. They are closely related. Flora of China states:
Rosa webbiana: Petals pinkish; flowers 3.5–5 cm in diam.; hip subglobose or ovoid, glabrous, rarely glandular punctate; leaflets abaxially often pubescent.
Rosa fedtschenkoana: Petals white; flowers 3–4 cm in diam.; hip oblong or ovoid, densely glandular- pubescent; leaflets glabrous.
