Chinese rose beetles are a major problem for us at the nursery. For non edibles in pots you can apply granular insecticide - imidacloprid - to take care of it. For edibles you can spray Carbaryl. That's the only thing that has worked for us. But you have to spray regularly or they will be back! you can spray the ground too.
We haven't really tried traps and such. We have wild chickens everywhere and that doesn't seem to help at all. A good natural method would be nice - I'd prefer it too.
