You may want to put a little painters tape on the bumper so it won't scratch the paint. You can then maneuver the hose around and get a lot of accumulated leaves, etc from the radiator. This is not as thorough as removing the bumper, but it is quick and easy.
Good tip but if you or a shop haven't removed the bumper in a while, go through the whole procedure and separate the radiators. You will be amazed whats in there.
