I do not understand your equations.  r should be a function of theta
and if theta were a single value (e.g., 1) there would be only a
single point. Also, what is the ^.= in the equations?

Clear[r]

r[theta_] = theta (1 - theta^2);

PolarPlot[r[theta], {theta, -1, 1}]

PolarPlot[r[theta], {theta, -1, 1},
 PlotStyle -> Red,
 PolarAxes -> Automatic,
 PolarGridLines -> {
   Range[0, 2 Pi, Pi/4],
   Range[0.1, 0.3, 0.1]},
 PolarTicks -> {"Degrees", Automatic},
 GridLinesStyle -> LightGray]
