Surnames

Plural possessives of surnames ending in 's' are created by adding 'es' and the apostrophe after the 'es'.

Example - the Joneses' house

What about the surname 'Rogers'?

Would we write, "The Rogerses' house" or simply the "The Rogers' house" for the plural possessive?
"Rogerses'" looks ridiculous.

Thanks.
