  We give a complete characterization of the classes of weight functions for
which the Haar wavelet system for $m$-dilations, $m= 2,3,\ldots$ is an
unconditional basis in $L^p(\mathbb{R},w)$. Particulary it follows that higher
rank Haar wavelets are unconditional bases in the weighted norm spaces
$L^p(\mathbb{R},w)$, where $w(x) = |x|^{r}, r>p-1$. These weights can have very
strong zeros at the origin. Which shows that the class of weight functions for
which higher rank Haar wavelets are unconditional bases is much richer than it
was supposed. One of main purposes of our study is to show that weights with
strong zeros should be considered if somebody is studying basis properties of a
given wavelet system in a weighted norm space.
