Graphocephala
The yellow patch on the abdomen is characteristic of this genus. If this nymph was found on rhododendron, then it would be G. fennahi; but if not, it's probably G. atropunctata.

Host plant
is Himalayan (Armenian) Blackberry, and it's always got plenty Blue-green Sharpshooters. Thanks, now I know what the little ones look like.

Yep
Definitely a leafhopper nymph. You might check out sharpshooters as possibility.
