Are there adjectives that end in "a" without them being feminine? If the end in an "a", how do you do masculine singular and plural? (Example (I think): materialista)

Any adjective that ends in "-ista/-istas" is both masculine and feminine. Example: comunista, marxista, perfeccionista, individualista, etc.

Another example would be rosa.

The example you gave is correct, & considering these -ista adjectives, there would be plenty of adjectives that end in -a. Using your example, you can say "un hombre materialista," as in "a materialistic man," & you can be sure that their genders agree.
