Point the hose upward. You want the water drops to be falling, not squirting out. For a cheap rain device get a long lenght of PVC pipe overhead, and put sprinklers on it, pointing upward, and let it just fall down naturally.
But if you need to cover a large area, that's a lot tougher obviously.

Also I second what Barry said. Unless you are shooting under trees that will interfere, just shooting the hose straight up and letting it fall will provide a good effect. Building a PVC rig may be overkill for most situations and provide only a marginal improvement in rain quality. It'll also limit your flexibility.
It can also help sell the effect if you have a second hose sending rain into the background, an often forgotten aspect of rain is that tends to rain in other areas other than where your talent is standing!

How do you create rain for a shoot? Is there a special contraception for this, maybe something that connects to a hose or water source? Actually, is a hose pointed downward enough?
...and what's the best lighting setup for this?
Thanks!rogar-Happy(DBG):
If you insist on using a contraception method, well then you could always use the old "poke a bunch of small holes in a condom and stick it on the hose" method. Just make sure you don't accidentally use it afterwards because it doesn't work too well for its original purpose at this point.
