It is an erect shrub with spatula-shaped leaves with 3 to 5 teeth or shallow lobes on the end, and cylindrical clusters of reddish pink flowers, the style with a cream-coloured tip.

Flowering occurs from August to October, and the fruit is a glabrous, elliptic to more or less spherical follicle 13.5–20 mm (0.53–0.79 in) long.

[3][4][2] Grevillea rogersoniana was first formally described in 1964 by Charles Gardner in the Journal of the Royal Society of Western Australia from specimens he collected near Shark Bay.

[4][6] Rogerson's grevillea grows in tall woodland or Banksia scrub on sand dunes in an area south of Shark Bay, in the Carnarvon, Geraldton Sandplains and Yalgoo bioregions of Western Australia.

[2][3] Grevillea rogersoniana is listed as "Priority Three" by the Government of Western Australia Department of Biodiversity, Conservation and Attractions,[2] meaning that it is poorly known and known from only a few locations but is not under imminent threat.
