the hose may have burst due to air pressure. You need to make sure the system is burped really well.. Turn on the heater on highest setting. Get a funnel with a decent size res. built in. put it in the fill spout. Let the car heat cycle. When the thermo opens the coolant will enter the res. but will enter the spout again once air bubbles are out. give the upper hose a squeeze when thermo open and youll see the bubbles. Do this until the coolant doesnt enter the res anymore. I've seen some occasions when it helps to burp the bottom hose also.

You need to bleed your collant system ... Probly air inside or stuck theormostat ...
