Solar flares happen all the time. They are more common during active periods on the Sun, but can occur even when the Sun is relatively quiet. During the last Solar Max in 2004, there were enormous flares popping off every couple of days. Now we are in an extended period of "calm" on the Sun, and we can go days or weeks between large flares.

You can check the status of the Sun's activity in terms of flares or sunspots any time at http://www.spaceweather.com. They also have a nice gallery of flare photographs for previous cycles.

What role does Earth magnetic field play in cosmic ray bombardment?

The magnetic field of Earth is the reason why humans are still around today. It plays the role of attracting the cosmic rays, such as a solar flare for example, and deflects off the surface of the atmosphere. Hence why we have such thing as the aurora borealis or 'Northern Lights'. It shows that activity that the magnetic field is having with the cosmic ray. If we did not have our magnetic field, Earth would have been scorched by a solar flare a long time ago.
