The 39-year-old Somerset captain played 313 first-class matches, scoring 25,470 runs at an average of 49.55.
He hit two centuries in his final match as Somerset kept their hopes of a first County Championship title alive with a 325-run win over Nottinghamshire.
"It's a pretty special way to go out," Rogers told BBC Radio Bristol.
Victory took Somerset to the top of the table, although they will win the title only if Middlesex's game with Yorkshire at Lord's is drawn.
The former Middlesex and Northamptonshire batsman averaged 49.55 in 25 Tests for Australia between 2008 and 2015.
Rogers finished unbeaten on 100 at Taunton on Thursday - the 76th first-class hundred of an 18-year career - having made 132 on Tuesday.
He added: "I remember Darren Lehmann being carried off at the Adelaide Oval after he had slogged 150 against us and I always hoped that I could do something similar.
"But, not only that, we've had a fantastic year. To walk around and see the standing ovation from the Somerset supporters is a nice way to go out."

The League One side beat Championship club Charlton in the last round.
"We'll be going into every game to win, but we've got to be realistic as well," Wright told BBC Essex.
"Both sides are flying at the top of the Premier League, they're aiming for the top four and maybe even the title."
Fourth-placed Spurs and second-placed Leicester drew 2-2 at White Hart Lane on Sunday, and the winners of the replay will travel to Colchester at the end of this month.
"We need to make sure we don't get overawed by the occasion and give a real good account of ourselves, because it is the FA Cup and you never know," added Wright, who became the club's assistant manager when Kevin Keen was appointed as U's boss last month.
"They'll be coming to our place and the pressure will be all on either team that gets through.
"We can set ourselves up and really enjoy the occasion and hopefully cause them a number of problems."

The 22-year-old, who won the English Amateur Championship last summer, had previously said she would stay amateur.
Giles. who is the first golfer to win all three major English women's amateur titles, has applied for the Access Series of the European Ladies Tour.
"This season just gone I achieved everything I wanted to achieve in the amateur game, so I'm ready to take on the pro game now," she said.
"I'm hoping to eventually end up in America on the LPGA tour, that's where everyone really aims to get to, that's where the best competition is, that's where the best golf courses are and it would be a really awesome experience to go out there."
Giles says she is inspired by Charley Hull, who like Giles had an impressive amateur career before turning professional at the age of 16.
"I'd love to play in the Solheim Cup one day, that would be the aim," she added to BBC Radio Cornwall.
"That's what Charley Hull's done in the last few years, she was an amateur playing in the same stuff I was playing in and now she's doing really well in America and played two Solheim Cups."
Former Australia Test opener Chris Rogers has announced his retirement following title-chasing Somerset's final match of 2016.
