\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{pstricks-add}

\begin{document}
\newcommand{\rau}{2 x mul cos 3 mul sqrt}
\psset{unit=2cm}
\begin{pspicture}(-3,-3)(3,3)
   \psplot[polarplot,plotpoints=500]{-45}{45}{x dup add cos 3 mul sqrt}
   \psplot[polarplot,plotpoints=500]{135}{225}{x dup add cos 3 mul sqrt}
\end{pspicture}
\end{document}
