Depends on a lot of factors.  First, what type of hose and how was it constructed.  If it's a single wall (cheap) hose it could simply have cracked from use, being driven over or uv degradation.  Better quality hoses that are multi walled and reinforced should not develop holes.  Fixing the holes is another matter.  If it's a cheap single walled hose there's little point in fixing it but if it's used under low pressure duct tape will work for a short time.  Quality hoses should probably be cut at the point where the hole is and rejoined with a double female plastic coupler that has a screw together coupling on both sides.
