The only way I see is if you can move it and it fits in the bath is giving it a nice hot bath
Bit late now but I always make sure I empty the hose once filled up !

I've managed to get some flow by using a paint stripping heat gun along the length . It won't fit in bath as its 30m long and the hard plastic pipe so not very flexibl

Very rare but I’ve had this on really cold mornings undo the valve and pour hot water from my tank down the nozzle in a couple of minutes it works it way down the hose and defrosts it.

The nozzle or gun needs putting in a bowl of hot water not boiling you may crack the plastic and bugger it.

The gun is the main thing you need to protect from cold it needs wrapping in a thick dry towel or 2.
