It's a mixed bag, mostly terrible these days. They used to sell gorgeous plants, but there were problems with the assortment. I think they pretended to have a lot of roses they never had, and when you'd order something really exciting and hard-to-find, they'd tell you it was on back order. If you persisted in asking them for it, they'd slap the label on some other rose, which was never anything you wanted. They sent me so many Icebergs and Autumn Damasks over the years, pretending they were something else. Both of those are nice roses, but how many of them does anyone need?
Now those assortment problems no longer exist. They only list the roses they actually have in stock, but the quality of the plants has plummeted. Unless Hortico has something no other Canadian nursery has, I'd rather buy from Palatine or Pickering. Pickering's not as good as it used to be, but it's still better than Hortico.
