una rosa magnífica


Explanation:
"prize bloom" sería "una flor de primera/extraordinaria" (es decir, tan buena como para ganar un premio. Considerando el contexto queda mejor decir "una rosa magnífica".
La historia, aquí debajo, dice que a Luke (un señor con tatuajes, no un perro) le gusta oler rosas.

una flor de campeonato


Explanation:

Hola, teniendo en cuenta que el texto va dirigido a niños, creo que esta opción podría ser adecuada, por el tono informal y, en este caso, con una connotación positiva.

de campeonato
1. loc. adj. Que excede lo normal, en lo positivo o en lo negativo. Un actor, un frío de campeonato.
