Assuming flat and straight, sure. The water would seek the lowest position available, and you'd only need enough pressure to overcome the surface tension.

The problem comes when it has to go up even a slight incline. Then the weight of the water would be such that the hose would burst, if you could even apply enough pressure.

I think.
