If they are stuck then you can cut them with a razor blade the lenght of the hose or use a 90* flat blade to go between the hose and the radiator tube. If not then just twist them gently to loosen them.

Cutting works great.

If you are trying to save the hose, carefully working a very small screwdriver between the hose and nipple can break the bond between the two and loosen things up. You may have to do it in several places to get it loosened up. Very careful use of channel locks to twist the hose is a last resort. To much clamp or force can hurt the radiator nipple... not to mention the hose.
