I agree. Are you referring to the sum of his life? His last few months? Years?

If you are asking did loving Germany and caring for its future but betraying Hitler make him a traitor, then it's a hard call. He should perhaps be remembered as a German patriot and a "traitor" to Nazi rule in general and to Hitler specifically. He was a principled man who refused to join the Nazi Party.

Was Rommel a traitor? Depends how you define it.
