If the manufacturer does not supply a rating then the bag has probably not been tested, and this would make me a bit suspicious. On a good quality bag, a 250 gsm would probably be a 2 season bag and a 350 gsm would probably be a 3 season bag. The 200gsm has a comfort rating of +4ºc so is about a 1 to 2 season bag. A liner will provide a bit of extra warmth, depending on the type of liner. They are also easier to clean than a sleeping bag so are a good idea from that point of view as well.
