The word "hora" is feminine, so "una" agrees with it in feminine.

Uno is only really used in counting, in more general use the masculine form would be un, and as the others have already una is the feminine version. (which is always used with time)

Veintiuno (21) works the same way; veintiuna niñas or veintiún hombres is an example of this.

¿Qué hora tienes? -Tengo una hora con seis minutos

Con los objetos que terminen o tengan casi al final la letra "a" se usa "una" y para "e,i,o,u,y" se usa "un".

Ejemplo: -Yo tengo una manzana -El tiene un carro. -Hay un perro ladrando. -Pásame una cerveza. -Soy un rey. -Soy un principe.
