A native of Scarborough, North Yorkshire, Rogers was educated at Oakham School and later went on to receive degrees from Magdalen College, and Christ Church of the University of Oxford, where he earned a B.A. with first class honors and a D.Phil. in English.

Rogers served as deputy director at the National Portrait Gallery in London, and in 1994, he was appointed the Ann and Graham Gund Director of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, where he remained until being replaced by Matthew Teitelbaum in 2015.

A year after his appointment as director, Rogers undertook many building renovation projects including the openings of the museum's historic side entrances, which had been previously inaccessible. In addition, Rogers eliminated admission fees for children aged seventeen and under, and instituted a series of free public days.
