'''''A Crash Course in Roses''''' is the fifth studio album by [[Catie Curtis]], released on {{start date|1999|08|03}}.<br />
<br />
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 Chart]]s, it was her most successful at that stage.<br />
<br />
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 of [[Saco, Maine]] for rejecting her when she came out as a [[lesbian]], and "Roses", the story of a soldier conscripted into [[World War I]].<br />
<br />
Numerous other singer-songwriters appear in supporting roles on the album, including [[Mary Chapin Carpenter]] and [[Melissa Ferrick]].<br />
