Iridescent Beetle

Am I right in thinking this is a Rose Chafer? I've not seen one of these before, and it caught my eye when I was cleaning the duckweed out of the pond. I fished it out thinking it was dead, and although much the worse for wear it was still alive... just. The poor thing only had three legs left, but I put it on a geranium in a pot. It was still crawling about when I checked on it a few hours later.
