A battery? [groan!]

Edit: now I'm one letter short!! RATS!

If it wasn't only one word, I'd guess one of the 'Bowl' football games, like the Rose Bowl. Yeah, right number of letters, too! :P
When the night has been too lonely, and the road has been too long,
And you think that love is only for the lucky and the strong,
Just remember in the winter far beneath the bitter snows,
Lies the seed, that with the sun's love, in the spring becomes The Rose.
