In 1971 he won the American Cassandra Award and in 1986 he was awarded the David Roellprize by the Prins Bernhard Cultuur Fonds. Rogge taught at the Academy St. Joost in Den Bosch and the Gerrit Rietveld Academie in Amsterdam. He is an important representative of post-war modern sculpture in The Netherlands; the Kroller-Muller Museum in Otterlo shows a number of his sculptures.
