I think you are correct about the sugar, but I would start with the
above measures and sweeten it to taste.  Since the filling is cooked to
thicken it before baking, small amounts of sugar can be stirred into the
filling as it cooks.  Taste testing will let Bogdan decide when to stop
adding sugar and determine if more rosewater needs to be added.
