Are the models "Pure" origami (From square - no cuts)?

Most are

This book is about flowers, modular constructions, and a few other interesting shapes. Some of the roses have been diagrammed before, but here they are re-diagrammed, and the instructions are divided into "steps" - with each step adding something new towards the finished design, making it even more approachable for beginners.

The diagrams are all in full color, and there are many step-photos to illustrate tricky steps.
