A Crash Course in Roses is Catie Curtis' fifth studio album, released on August 3, 1999.

The album contains numerous love songs, with Magnolia Street, a song about the realization that one is in love, gaining some radio airplay. While the album did not make the Billboard Music Charts, it was her most successful at that stage.

In addition to the love songs which make up the majority of the album, A Crash Course In Roses also bears two other songs - What's The Matter, a criticism of her hometown (Saco, Maine) for rejecting her when she came out as lesbian, and Roses, the story of a soldier conscripted into World War I.

Numerous other singer-songwriters appear in supporting roles on the album, including Mary Chapin Carpenter and Melissa Ferrick.
