'it's not pleasant' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.

'see a damaged rose' is the wordplay.
'see' becomes 'eye' (I've seen this in another clue).
'a damaged' indicates anagramming the letters.
'rose' is an anagram of 'sore'.
'eye'+'sore'='EYESORE'

'to' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for eyesore that I've seen before include "something one wouldn't want to see" , "An unsightly thing" , "offensive to viewers" , "Ugly sight, not nice to see" , "Ugly and offensive sight" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
