Jim, we never translate the names of veriеties. In the catalogues in garden centers and in conversations the names are given transliterated the way you put it тюльпан Блэк Бьюти. As for the second question, I don't think the word тюльпан is a borrowing from English. Still Turkey is nextdoor country, so it might be a direct borrowing

I showed some Russian varieties in TULIPA thread and now I would like to show black tulip ‘Anikushin’ (again bred by Z.M. Silina), grown by my Ukraininan collegue D. Zubov. This variety has quite dark flowers and larger than those ‘black’ cultivars, sold in the market.
