It was never proven that Rommel was an active member of the plot. When first approached with the idea he refused, believing such a thing was beneath the honor of a German officer. His name was blurted out by one of the generals in the plot was was being tortured by the SS.

Rommel was never directly connected to the july 20 plot.
hitler’s retribution eventually claimed almost 5000 lives.
Rommel took his own life, once given the option. Your assertion about his response after being approached is correct, as I understand it.
