Sorry, yours must be a different species. These Cetonia aurata chafers are an European species that does no damage!

No way! Have no fear... they live entirely on decomposing vegetable matter.
Thank you for this. I have been wondering about where the rose chafers come from, where the eggs are laid, etc.
From this video, I see they are in the soil beneath the bush! I could use diatomatious earth to get rid of them! Yippee! Right?

No, in this video they were in compost actually.
